The Morris Canal threads through the landscape south of the Passaic River, marking a period when water-powered industry and inland navigation defined the region's economy. Industrial infrastructure is prominent near the river, including the Dundee Dam and extensive Newark Waterworks and Jersey City Waterworks facilities. The map captures the transition from established mill towns like Paterson and Dundee to the growing suburban and rural pockets of Bergen and Passaic Counties.
