The Morris Canal and Raritan Canal serve as industrial arteries for Northern New Jersey at a time of massive urban expansion, cutting across the ridge-and-valley terrain of the Stony Brook Mountains and First Mountain. This 1905 survey reveals a landscape of dense rail networks, including the Erie R.R. and Lehigh Valley R.R., which facilitated the movement of goods and people between emerging commuter suburbs like Convent Sta. and the bustling hubs of Newark and Jersey City.
