2011 Map of Perth Amboy

About this map

Perth Amboy and its surrounding industrial and residential suburbs appear here during a period of dense suburbanization, shaped by the massive infrastructure of the Garden State Pkwy and the intricate rail network at Perth Amboy Junction. The landscape is a complex map of early 21st-century New Jersey life, where historic sites like the Metuchen Colonial Cemetery sit alongside modern transit corridors. Significant landmarks such as the Edison Memorial Tower and the twin spans of the Thomas A Edison Bridge and Governor Alfred E Driscoll Bridge over the Raritan River define the local skyline. The map reveals the fine-grained development of neighborhoods like Menlo Park, Clara Barton, and Iselin, as well as the industrial waterfronts at Port Reading and Sewaren along the Arthur Kill. Numerous memorial sites, including Beth Israel Memorial Park and Saint James Cemetery, offer rich detail for those researching local family history and the evolution of these established communities.
