New Brunswick and its surrounding suburban centers appear here in great detail, showcasing a landscape defined by its historic waterways and sprawling burial grounds. The Raritan River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal cut through the northern portion of the map, serving as the traditional industrial and transportation spine for Highland Park and East Franklin. To the south, the terrain shifts into a complex of residential developments like Lawrence Brook Manor and Fairview Knolls, interspersed with significant ecological features such as Pigeon Swamp and the Great Ditch. This area is particularly notable for its high density of cemeteries, including the extensive Holy Cross Burial Park and Mausoleum and the historic Willow Grove Cem, which provide essential points of interest for genealogical research. The mapping reveals how modern infrastructure, such as the Amtrak / NJ Transit rail lines and various state routes, integrates with established neighborhoods like Milltown and Helmetta.
