About this map

Trenton and its eastern suburbs form a dense network of residential and commercial corridors in this early 21st-century landscape. The area is defined by the heavy convergence of modern transportation infrastructure, where I-295, I-195, and the Conrail lines intersect near White Horse and Yardville Heights. Despite this modern development, the map retains traces of the region's older mill-town and village identities, including Hutchinson Mills, Dunns Mills, and the historic water power sites at Gropp Lake Dam and Whitehead Pond Dam.

The Delaware River forms the southwestern boundary, punctuated by features like Duck Island and Sucker Point. Moving inland, the terrain is deeply etched by Crosswicks Creek and its many tributaries, such as Doctors Creek and Back Creek. These waterways provide the geographical context for established communities like Groveville, Mercerville, and the historic town of Bordentown, which sits at a strategic bend in the river. This survey captures a highly developed corridor still anchored by its original creek-side settlements and the long-standing Greenwood Cemetery.
