About this map

The Millstone River and the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal corridor define the western edge of this central New Jersey landscape. This mid-2010s survey shows a region of dense suburban development interwoven with protected natural spaces like Pigeons Swamp and the Sixmile Run watershed. Significant local history is preserved in the numerous burying grounds, including the Hillsborough Reformed Church at Millstone Cem and Ten Mile Run Cem.

Transportation networks are a dominant feature, with the major rail line passing through Monmouth Junction and the intersection of established communities such as Dayton, Franklin Park, and Kingston. The map documents the persistent identity of older settlements like Griggstown and Blackwells Mills even as modern infrastructure like Kendall Park and the South Brunswick High Sch expand to accommodate the growing population across Somerset and Middlesex counties.
