New Jersey Local Names 1986 You are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library NEW JERSEY LOCAL NAMES Thomas H. Kean Hazel Frank Gluck You are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library New Jersey Local Names contains an alphabetical listing of the names of locales, areas and municipalities in New Jersey. The listing also shows the incorporated municipality and the county in which each local name is located. Many of the names listed are unofficial, having no legal significance, but are used by people familiar with the specific area. Some local names which may have originated in the development of an area are no longer in general use. These names are included for informal historic interest only. Similarly, as new residential areas are created, their locales may assume their names which then become generally used for the entire area. Suggested changes, corrections or additions to this listing should be sent to the Communications Office, New Jersey Department of Transportation, CN 600, Trenton, NJ 08625.

  • TRIP E: TACONIAN ISLANDS and the SHORES of APPALACHIA By
    117 TRIP E: TACONIAN ISLANDS AND THE SHORES OF APPALACHIA By Robert M. Finks, Queens College of the City University of New York INTRODUCTION Within the Precambrian Highlands of northern New Jersey and adjacent New York are several infolded and infaulted belts of Paleozoic sediments. The easternmost of tnese belts, e the Green Pond - Schunemunk outlier; preserves Silurian and Devonian rocks as well as Cambrian and Ordovician. The mid-Paleozoic sediments lie some 25 miles farther southeast than the main outcrop belt of the miogeosyncline, and represent a sampling of material deposited approximately that much nearer the source. They provide a record of those tectonic events and geographic conditions in the source area whose influence did not spread far enough to become manifest farther west. TACONIAN ISLANDS AND RELATED MATTERS A gJance at the map (Figures 1 and 2) will show that the Silurian is in contact with the Precambrian in some places and with the Cambro-Ordovician in others. Some contacts with the Precambrian lie along the traces of high-angle faults that cut across the strike of the beds. The remaining Silurian-Precambrian contacts are parallel to the strike of the Silurian. It is possible that they are also faults, for the actual contacts are nowhere observable in the field, although outcrops are continuously exposed within a few feet of them (STOP 3). In certain places, as at the north end of Bowling Green Mountain (see Figure 1) the contact wraps around the nose of a fold and is parallel to Silurian beds of n.ther gentle dip (less than 45°).

  • Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: a Review and Synthesis
    Kiviat & MacDonald, Hackensack Meadowlands Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald Hudsonia Ltd. P.O. Box 5000, Annandale, New York 12504-5000 USA Prepared for the Hackensack Meadowlands Partnership 8 August 2002 © Hudsonia Ltd., Annandale, New York, 2002 Corrections and Updates to: Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis By Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald, Hudsonia Ltd. We will occasionally add information to this section of the report instead of frequently changing the report itself. This section last changed 23 June 2003 by EK. Corrections : P. 40: The laboratory work of J. Weis comparing reed and cordgrass detritus did not use mummichogs, only fiddler crabs and grass shrimp. P. 93: The correct year of publication for Labriola is 2000. Labriola should precede Langan. P. 97: The Yuhas 2001 thesis was prepared at New Jersey Institute of Technology, not Rutgers University. Table 4: American coot should be indicated (*) as water or wetland-associated; barn-owl should not be. Updates : P. 32: In July 2002, an apparent family group of northern harrier (Endangered) was observed on multiple days at the Carlstadt-Moonachie marshes (Empire tract), indicating breeding at that location. Thus the Empire tract and the Berry’s Creek marshes are the two known breeding localities for this species in the Meadowlands. P. 65: To the best of our knowledge, this clam-shrimp species is known from only about 10 localities in its global range. If this species were reviewed by the State Natural Heritage Program it would be ranked G1 S1. The Meadowlands population therefore may have considerable significance for conservation.

In this report we have looked at species populations and their habitats from a broad regional perspective, focusing on large-scale physical landscape features as the basic habitat units for protection and conservation. The following general information is provided to help understand the regional physical classification units that were used as the basis for grouping and delineating regional habitat complexes. Geomorphology, or physiography, is a distinct branch of geology that deals with the nature and origin of landlords, the topographic features such as hills, plains, glacial terraces, ridges, or valleys that occur on the earth's surface. Regional geomorphology deals with the geology and associated landlords over a large regional landscape, with an emphasis on classifying and describing uniform areas of topography, relief, geology, altitude, and landlord patterns. These regions are generally referred to as GEOMORPHIC or physiographic provinces or regions and have been classified and described in various texts for the northeastern region and for the United States as a whole.

  • New York and New Jersey Localities an Addendum to Moore’S Compendium of Mineral Discoveries
    NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY LOCALITIES AN ADDENDUM TO MOORE’S COMPENDIUM OF MINERAL DISCOVERIES By Hershel Friedman Founder, Minerals.net Published: January 2018 Prehnite, Lower New St., Paterson, NJ Hershel Friedman collection & photo 1 NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY LOCALITIES An Addendum to Moore’s Compendium of Mineral Discoveries Moore’s Compendium of Mineral Discoveries is an exhaustive guide to documented mineral discoveries of minerals with crystals over one centimeter found since 1960. Completed in 2015 by Tom Moore, an editor for the Mineralogical Record and a prolific writer on mineral subjects, this is arguably the most detailed mineral book compiled in recent times. It contains two volumes, with a combined page count of 1,644 pages, describing each mineral locality in detail. There was only one publishing of this set, with only 500 copies, and there are no more plans for any additional editions to be published. Moore has stated that since the publishing, he has received much feedback and information on localities that were not included in the compendium. He stated his intention to produce a new compendium volume with the new localities of minerals not mentioned in the original compendium. Having an extensive background in the minerals of my native region of New York and New Jersey, I took the opportunity to fill in some missing gaps from my regional area. While the compendium was certainly very thorough in this region, there were still many important localities for mineral discoveries that were left out. There were also mineral discoveries in this region that were poorly documented, and require insider information from a local collector for a more thorough picture.

  • The National Gazetteer of the United States of America
    THE NATIONAL GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW JERSEY 1983 THE NATIONAL GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW JERSEY 1983 Barnegat Lighthouse took its name from adjacent Barnegat Inlet which connects Barnegat Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. The name, first appearing on a 1656 map as "Barndegat," reflects the early Dutch heritage of New Jersey. It is derived from "barende gat" meaning "foaming entrance (passage)," a descriptive reference to the break in the barrier islands with its foamy or breaking surf.
