About this map

Perth Amboy and the surrounding industrial corridor of Middlesex Co stand at a vital crossroads where the Raritan River meets the Arthur Kill. The landscape is defined by dense residential neighborhoods such as Fords, Metuchen, and Sewaren intertwined with heavy logistics and maritime infrastructure. The map documents an area with deep genealogical roots, visible in the high density of historic burial grounds including Rahway Cem and specialized religious sites like the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption Cem.

Transit networks dominate the region, from the Perth Amboy Junction and Port Reading Ave corridor to the multiple spans crossing the water, such as the Victory Bridge and Thomas A Edison Bridge. The waterfront is deeply industrial, featuring shipping markers like Port Socony Reach and Titanium Reach. Away from the shore, the map identifies distinct small communities like Clara Barton, Valentine, and Hazelton, preserving the names of local settlements amidst the urban expansion of the New York metropolitan area.
