The Raritan River and its expansive wetlands dominate this landscape, serving as a corridor for industrial and agricultural development at the turn of the century. Settlements like New Brunswick and Highland Park are well-established hubs near the northern reach, while the south is defined by the headwaters of the Millstone River and Manalapan Brook. The convergence of transportation and geography is evident in the path of the Pennsylvania R.R. (Amboy Division), which threads through smaller hamlets such as Helmetta and Spotswood.
