1901 Map of New Brunswick

About this map

Monmouth Battle Ground serves as a major historical anchor in this turn-of-the-century landscape, marking the revolutionary heritage of central New Jersey. The region is defined by a dense network of water-powered industry and early rail lines, with numerous mill sites like Weston Mills, Bergen Mills, and Wescott Mills established along the Manalapan Brook and Millstone River. The industrial development of the era is evident in the Edgars Clay Pit near Sayreville and the radiating rail lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York and Long Branch Railroad.
