About this map

The confluence of the North Branch Raritan River and the South Branch Raritan River anchors this detailed survey of central New Jersey, where the landscape transitions from the suburban density of Somerville and Raritan to the more open fields of Branchburg Park. The industrial and hydrological history of the region is evident in the Raritan-Water Power Canal and the presence of several local airfields, including Solberg/Hunterdon Airport and Somerset Airport.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from church-affiliated grounds like the Neshanic Reformed Cem and Saint Bernards Roman Catholic Cem to smaller family plots such as the Vroom Family Burial Ground and Veghte Burying Ground Cem. These features, alongside established hubs like Neshanic Station and Flagtown, provide a clear picture of the area's social and geographic evolution into the early 2020s.
