The Geography of New Jersey

The text surveys the physical and human geography of New Jersey, opening with early settlement history and progressing through maps of position, size, and topography. It describes four physiographic provinces - the Appalachian zone with Kittatinny Mountain and valley, the Highlands, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Coastal Plain - treating relief, climate, drainage, soils, vegetation, and wildlife. Later sections discuss agricultural practices, mineral resources, transportation and travel, recreational areas and health resorts, population distribution, and civic institutions such as government and education, with tables and illustrative maps to support classroom use.
