About this map

The Raritan River and Raritan Bay dominate this coastal New Jersey landscape, defining a complex network of industrial reaches and tidal channels. Along the northern shoreline, South Amboy and Sayreville Station sit at the nexus of major transport corridors, where the Raritan River Cutoff and Washington Canal carve into the terrain. The map documents an area deeply layered with residential and industrial history, from the Thomas J Dohany Homes in the north to the southern reaches of Sayerwood South and Henningers Mill.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including Saint Marys Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the Beth Israel Cem near Ernston. The landscape transitions from the urban density of South River to the preserved wetlands of Cheesequake, where Hooks Creek Lake and Stump Creek wind toward the bay. This survey captures the modern infrastructure of RT 18 and Us 9 as they bisect long-established communities like Parlin and Browntown.
