2019 Map of Raritan

About this map

The North Branch Raritan River and South Branch Raritan River converge in this central New Jersey landscape, defining a region where colonial-era churchyards meet modern suburban expansion. Local history is anchored by several historic burial sites, including the Veghte Burying Ground Cem and the Vroom Family Burial Ground, which mark the presence of early land-owning families. Industrial history is evident along the Raritan Water Power Canal, while the transition from agrarian roots to a transportation and education hub is reflected in the presence of Somerset Airport and Raritan Valley Community College. Small hamlets such as North Branch Depot, Flagtown, and Neshanic Station maintain their distinct identities even as the surrounding area fills with residential developments and local landmarks like Round Hill Rd.
