About this map

The Rahway River and its various tributaries and impoundments, such as Diamond Mill Pond and Echo Lake, form a central corridor through this densely developed region of Northern New Jersey. The landscape transition from the high ridges of First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn down into the urbanized industrial and residential centers of Newark and Elizabeth is clearly defined. This modern survey illustrates the complex transportation network where rail history remains visible at major interchanges like Staten Island Junction and Cranford Junction.

Genealogical and historical interest is high throughout the suburban clusters of Short Hills, Summit, and Westfield. Significant burial sites are documented across the sheet, from the colonial-era Revolutionary Cem to larger twentieth-century grounds like Hollywood Memorial Park Cem and Graceland Memorial Park. Educational and community anchors like Union County College and Saint Stephens Cem sit amidst a grid that connects established townships such as Roselle, Roselle Park, and Garwood.
