1995 Map of Pennington

About this map

Washington Crossing serves as a historic focal point where the Delaware River separates New Jersey from Pennsylvania, accompanied by the preserved grounds of Washington Crossing State Park. The landscape transition from the heights of Baldpate Mountain and Pennington Mountain down toward the suburbanizing corridor of Ewing reflects the post-war growth of Mercer County. Significant institutional presence is visible through the New Jersey State Teachers College, the U S Naval Reservation, and the State School For Deaf. Transportation routes are defined by historic river crossings like Scudders Falls and the engineered path of the Delaware and Raritan Canal. Smaller crossroads such as Bear Tavern, Harbourton, and Marshalls Corner maintain their identities amidst a network of brooks including Stony Brook and Jacobs Creek.
