The Raritan River defines the northern edge of this urban and suburban landscape, where the academic grounds of Rutgers meet the industrial and residential heart of New Brunswick. The map reveals a densely woven network of local history, marked by numerous small settlements and crossroads such as Berdines Corners, Dunhams Corners, and Tanners Corners. This pattern of named corners reflects the early development of Middlesex County before modern suburbanization fully interconnected these once-distinct hamlets.
