About this map

The Raritan River and Raritan Bay dominate the northern landscape of this region, shaping the industrial and residential corridors of South Amboy and Sayreville. A complex network of reaches and channels, including Great Beds Reach and Titanium Reach, underscores the maritime significance of this shoreline. Moving inland, the terrain transitions into a dense concentration of suburban developments and historical pockets like Melrose, Parlin, and Ernston.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds throughout the area, from the older Old Calvary Cem and New Calvary Cem near MacArthur Manor to the Beth Israel Cem and Ernst Memorial Cem. The southern portion of the map reveals a more marshy character, defined by Tennent Brook and the protected environment of Burnt Fly Bog, while long-standing local landmarks like Henningers Mill and Old Bridge mark the crossings of the South River.
