New Brunswick and the industrial corridors of central New Jersey are captured here just after the First World War, highlighting a landscape defined by its complex rail and river networks. The Raritan River and South River serve as primary arteries for commerce, passing through established manufacturing centers like Sayreville and Milltown. To the south, the terrain shifts into a dense collection of smaller settlements and agricultural junctions, including Jamesburg and the State Reform School.
