2011 Map of Raritan

About this map

The North Branch-Raritan River and South Branch Raritan River converge in this Somerset County landscape, framing a series of historical hamlets and industrial remnants. At the turn of the 21st century, the area maintains a balance between suburban expansion and deep-rooted ancestral sites, evidenced by the numerous small graveyards such as the Vroom Family Burial Ground and Veghte Burying Ground near the riverbanks. The transportation corridor is anchored by North Branch Depot and Neshanic Station, while the Raritan Water Power Canal reflects the region's historical reliance on water for industry. To the southeast, the expansive Duke Estate occupies a significant portion of the riverfront, contrasting with the concentrated residential developments of Bradley Gardens and the borough of Raritan. Aviation history is also represented by the presence of Peters Airport and Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in the western reaches.
