About this map

Raritan serves as the central hub for this Henderson County agricultural landscape, situated along the crossroads of Jersey St and Main St. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of rural roads and county highways that define the region's character, punctuated by several established community landmarks. Local heritage is rooted in the presence of Saint Patrick's Cem to the north and the Raritan Cem just south of the main settlement.

A complex network of waterways, including Honey Cr, Ellison Cr, and Middle Cr, branches across the terrain, eventually feeding toward the southern edge of the quadrangle where the La Moine River meanders through the township. Small crossroads settlements like Jacksons Corners and Boston Corners anchor the eastern side of the survey, marking the traditional meeting points for the surrounding farmsteads in the early 21st century.
