About this map

Pennington Mountain and Mt Canoe anchor the northern landscape of this Mercer County mid-century survey, rising above the residential and agricultural fields surrounding Pennington. The southern portion of the map is defined by the rapid suburban growth of Ewingville and West Trenton, shown extending toward the Delaware River. This area serves as a significant institutional hub, hosting the New Jersey State Teachers College, the State School for Deaf, and the U S Naval Reservation.

Along the western border, the historic river crossing at Washington Crossing connects New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with the Delaware and Raritan Canal following the riverbank. Traces of local industry and infrastructure are evident in the Quarry near Marshalls Corner and the extensive Overseas Radio Transmitting Area near the eastern boundary. Notable local landmarks like the Hopewell Valley Country Club and Mercer County Airport highlight the mix of recreational and transportation development occurring as the region transitioned from its rural roots.
