2011 Map of Orange

About this map

Montclair State University stands at the northern edge of this densely developed urban corridor, where the residential grids of Clifton and Passaic meet the wooded slopes of Stony Hill. This 2011 survey documents the complex geography of the Watchung Mountains' eastern face, showing a landscape where major transportation arteries like the Garden State Pkwy carve through established neighborhoods. Significant green spaces and legacy estates are preserved in the form of Llewellyn Park and numerous large burial grounds, including Holy Cross Cemetery and Rosedale Cemetery, which dominate the local topography alongside the winding course of the Passaic River. The map details a continuous urban fabric connecting centers like East Orange and Bloomfield, with specific rail landmarks such as Brick Church serving as focal points for local history researchers and genealogists tracing the development of Essex and Passaic counties.
