1905 Map of Somerville
USGS Topo · Published 1905About this map
Somerville and Raritan sit at the center of a complex industrial and transport corridor where the Raritan River meets the Delaware and Raritan Canal. In the early twentieth century, this landscape was defined by the intersection of water-powered industry and competing rail lines, including the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The northern terrain rises sharply into the First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain, featuring landmarks like Chimney Rock and the drop of Pottersville Falls near the Hunterdon County line.
