Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park anchors this urban and suburban landscape, where the Passaic River winds through the industrial heart of New Jersey. The map details the dense residential patterns of Paterson and surrounding boroughs like Hawthorne, Haledon, and Glen Rock. A significant concentration of historic burial grounds, including the large Cedar Lawn Cem and Laurel Grove Cem, provides valuable points of reference for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Watchung Mountains, including High Mtn and Preakness Mtn, which separate the river valley from suburban developments. Educational and infrastructure landmarks like the William Paterson Univ of New Jersey and the Erie RR corridor at Ridgewood Junction illustrate the region's long-standing role as a transportation and academic hub.
