About this map

Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park anchors this densely populated landscape, marking the historic industrial heart where the Passaic River drops through the city. The 2019 survey documents the extensive urban grid of Paterson alongside its surrounding boroughs, illustrating a complex built environment defined by historical manufacturing zones and modern educational institutions like William Paterson University and Passaic County Community College.

Beyond the city core, the map reveals a high concentration of significant burial grounds and local landmarks, from the sprawling Cedar Lawn Cem and Calvary Cem near the river to the Passaic County Courthouse downtown. The terrain transitions from the river valley to the heights of the Watchung Mountains, with the First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn rising above Haledon and North Haledon. Large-scale infrastructure remains prominent through the Stanley M Levine Reservoir and the New Street Reservoir, serving as essential features in this established North Jersey corridor.
