About this map

Cakepoulin Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of Hunterdon County, anchoring a landscape dotted with long-established hamlets. The area around Pittstown and Quakertown reflects a pattern of rural settlement where small communities like Cherryville, Grandin, and Jutland grew around local crossroads and watercourses. Genealogical interest is high here, with numerous burial grounds such as Mount Salem Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Allerton Methodist Cem marking the legacy of early families.

Transportation routes weave together the upland terrain, from the South Branch Raritan River in the east to the aviation hub at Sky Manor Airport. The map documents a contemporary view of these traditional centers, including Baptistown and Croton, where the road network still follows the contours of the valley. Significant water features like Lockatong Creek and Wickhecheoke Creek further define the drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of New Jersey for generations.
