About this map

The Raritan Bay waterfront and the industrial corridors of the Raritan River define this mid-1990s landscape at the junction of Middlesex and Monmouth counties. Dense residential development in South Amboy and Sayreville is intersected by major transit arteries including the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. The map reveals a complex history of infrastructure, from the rail hubs at Sayreville Junction and South Amboy Junction to the extensive Sand and Gravel Pits that shaped the local topography.

Genealogists will find a concentration of religious and civic landmarks, such as St Marys Cem, Beth Israel Cem, and the DeVitte Military Academy near Morganville. Further south, the terrain transitions into the protected wetlands of Cheesequake State Park and the riparian systems of Tennent Brook and Matchaponix Brook, illustrating the contrast between the region's heavy industrial utility and its preserved natural basins.
