About this map

Teterboro Airport and the massive rail infrastructure of Secaucus Yards anchor this survey of the New Jersey Meadowlands and the western edge of the Hudson River. The landscape is a complex network of industrial corridors and residential dense-zones, where the New Jersey Turnpike and numerous rail lines traverse the wetlands of the Hackensack River and Berrys Creek. This era shows the modern sports landscape in transition with the New Meadowlands Stadium and Meadowlands Racetrack prominently featured.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of burial grounds, including Berry Lawn Cemetery, Macphelah Cemetery, and Gethsemane Cemetery. The eastern edge captures the urban character of Union City and Weehawken, highlighting the critical transit link of the Lincoln Tunnel and the riverfront maritime history at Days Point. Unique aviation history is also present through several water-based facilities like the Sky Harbor Seaplane Terminal and the Passaic River Seaplane Base.
