2014 Map of Rocky Hill

About this map

Sourland Mtn dominates the western landscape of this Somerset County region, providing a high-elevation backdrop to the network of streams and colonial-era settlements below. The map documents the intricate water system of the area, where Rock Brook, Roaring Brook, and Beden Brook carve through the terrain. In the southeast, the historic Delaware and Raritan Canal runs parallel to the Millstone River, marking a corridor of early industrial transport that contrasts with the 21st-century infrastructure of the Princeton airport. Smaller hamlets like Blawenburg, Dutchtown, and Stoutsburg remain distinct points of interest, often centered around long-standing landmarks such as the Stoutsburg Cem or the Harlingen Reformed Cem. The transition from the rugged slopes of Pheasant Hill to the structured residential clusters near Hillsborough illustrates the modern suburban evolution atop a deeply rooted agricultural and hydrological foundation.
