2014 Map of Plainfield

About this map

The Raritan River and Delaware and Raritan Canal anchor the southern boundary of this detailed suburban corridor, where the historic landscape of Middlesex and Union counties meets the rising elevations of First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn. The dense network of communities, including South Plainfield, Dunellen, and Piscataway, is punctuated by numerous memorial sites such as Stelle Cem, Hillside Cem, and Lake Nelson Memorial Cem. Academic and recreational landmarks are prominent, from the Rutgers University-New Brunswick campus near the John A Lynch Senior Memorial Bridge to the distinctive Kilmer Bowl. The map highlights the transition from the flatlands of Ambrose Brook to the landmark Washington Rock, offering a perspective on how transportation routes like Us-22 and River Rd have shaped the growth of settlements like New Durham, Stelton, and Randolphville.
