1986 Map of Newark
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The dense urban industrial corridor of Northern New Jersey meets the rising ridges of the Watchung Mountains in this mid-1980s metric survey. The map details the complex geography of the New York Harbor area, including the Arthur Kill, Newark Bay, and the transit hubs of Newark International Airport and Teterboro Airport. To the west, the landscape shifts dramatically into the Highlands, where the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and Morristown National Historical Park preserve significant natural and revolutionary history. Large water management projects define the western portion of the sheet, notably the Spruce Run Reservoir and Round Valley Reservoir. Significant military and industrial sites are documented, such as the Picatinny Arsenal, alongside an intricate network of major thoroughfares including the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway that weave through the heavily populated centers of Elizabeth, Paterson, and Jersey City.
