2014 Map of Monmouth Junction

About this map

The Delaware and Raritan Canal and the Millstone River define the western border of this landscape, where the historical boundaries of Somerset, Middlesex, and Mercer counties converge. Central to this region is the dense network of streams including Sixmile Run, Nine mile Run, and Lawrence Brook, which shaped the early settlement patterns of villages like Franklin Park and Monmouth Junction. The map reveals a high concentration of genealogical sites, from the Hillsborough Reformed Church at Millstone Cem in the north to the Degel Yehudo Cem and Washington Cem near the southern rail lines. This 2014 survey documents the modern suburban character of the area while preserving the locations of older landmarks like Tenmile Run Mtn and the Sand Hills, providing a clear view of how the Conrail rail corridor and major thoroughfares have integrated with these natural features.
