About this map

Summit and Westfield anchor this densely settled corridor of northern New Jersey, where the suburban landscape is defined by its deep historical roots and a complex network of waterways. The topography shifts from the rising elevations of First Watchung Mtn to the lowlands surrounding Echo Lake and the Rahway River. Significant historical sites include the Revolutionary Cem and the Saint Stephens Cem, marking generations of local heritage. The region's development is closely tied to its transit infrastructure, with prominent rail connections at Cranford Junction and Staten Island Junction facilitating movement through the urban centers of Roselle and Roselle Park.

Large green spaces and institutional footprints provide a distinct contrast to the residential grid. The expansive Baltusrol area and numerous memorial parks, such as Graceland Memorial Park and Hollywood Memorial Park, break the density of the surrounding neighborhoods. Educational and municipal centers, including the Union County Coll campus, serve as focal points for the communities of Cranford and Springfield, while the upper reaches of the sheet are dominated by the water management systems of Canoe Brook Reservoir Number 1.
