2023 Map of Monmouth Junction

About this map

The Millstone River and the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal corridor anchor this portion of the New Jersey landscape, marking the transition between Somerset and Middlesex counties. Long-established settlements like Blackwells Mills, Griggstown, and East Millstone follow the waterway, reflecting an era when the canal was a primary artery for regional transport. Further east, the suburban growth of Monmouth Junction and Kendall Park contrasts with the wooded elevations of Tenmile Run Mtn. Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the Higgins Family Burial Ground near Kingston to the Hillsborough Reformed Church Cem in the north. The area's hydrology is complex, with several tributaries like Sixmile Run and Lawrence Brook carving through the terrain near landmarks like Bunker Hill.
