About this map

The Rahway Valley RR and Morris and Essex RR define the suburban landscape of Union and Essex counties during this mid-1990s update of 1940s topography. The map illustrates a dense network of residential communities, including Westfield, Summit, and Cranford, interspersed with significant public and private landmarks. The Rahway River and its branches, such as Nomahegan Brook, wind through established greenspaces like Lenape Park and the South Branch Rahway River.

Institutional presence is strong throughout the area, from Seton Hall University in the northeast to the world-renowned Baltusrol Golf Course near Springfield. For local historians and genealogists, the map meticulously records municipal hubs like Borough Hall and dozens of local schools such as Woodrow Wilson Sch and Holy Trinity High Sch. Significant burial sites, including Fairview Cemetery and Hollywood Cem, are clearly marked within the tightly knit neighborhoods.
