About this map

The urban and industrial sprawl of northern New Jersey is meticulously detailed here, centered on the historic communities of Newark, Clifton, and Bloomfield. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic ridges of First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn, which serve as a dramatic backdrop to the dense residential corridors and the winding Passaic River. A notable concentration of history is found at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, which includes the Edison Gravesite.

Major transportation arteries like the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike underscore the region's role as a vital transit hub. Educational and religious institutions are prominent throughout, from Montclair State University in the north to the numerous burial grounds like Mount Olivet Cem and Rosedale Cem. The map reveals a highly developed environment where suburban enclaves like Llewellyn Park sit adjacent to the heavy industry and rail networks of Passaic and Harrison.
