2014 Map of Weehawken

About this map

Teterboro Airport and the complex wetlands of the Hackensack River dominate this landscape, reflecting a densely developed corridor where industrial infrastructure meets the natural drainage of the Meadowlands. The map highlights the intensive transport network connecting the western side of the Hudson River to the New Jersey interior, featuring the Lincoln Tunnel and the Susquehanna and Western Tunnel. Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of burial grounds, including the large Holy Cross Cem and Hoboken Cem, which serve the surrounding communities of Secaucus, North Bergen, and Passaic. The transition from the high ground of Kings Bluff down to the sea-level marshes is marked by engineered waterways like the Berrys Creek Canal and various sloughs, illustrating the long history of land reclamation and water management in this tidal region.
