2016 Map of Plainfield
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Plainfield and its surrounding boroughs are defined by the dramatic rise of the First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn to the northwest, where Washington Rock provides a landmark overlook of the suburban landscape. The region's history is anchored in the dense network of early settlements like Dunellen, New Market, and Metuchen, which evolved around the waterways of Green Brook and Ambrose Brook. In the south, the Raritan River corridor is a focal point for infrastructure and education, featuring the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the sprawling campus of Rutgers University-New Brunswick. This modern survey documents the extensive residential and commercial development of South Plainfield and Edison, while preserving the locations of numerous memorial sites including Lake Nelson Memorial Cem and Resurrection Cem.
