Tour 4
Northern New Jersey

(Suffern, N. Y.) – Pompton – Boonton – Morristown – Lambertville –
(New Hope, Pa.) ; US 202.
New York Line to Pennsylvania Line, 81 m.

The road is paralleled at intervals in the northern section by the Lackawanna R.R., and between Copper Hill and Lambertville by the Pennsylvania R.R., and between Copper Hill and Lambertville by the Pennsylvania R.R.
Frequent service stations and tourist homes; hotels in towns.
Well-paved roadbed, with stretches of four-lane concrete.

Northern New Jersey, which US 202 traverses in its southwesterly ramble between the New York Line and Delaware River, is a region of heights and rolling dips rising sharply from the generally flat land of the State. South of Suffern, with the green and purple-shadowed Ramapos to the north, the highway penetrates a country that has the clean, high look of the Berkshires. For miles around, the Ramapos rim minor hills and ridges between which narrow rivers twist their way into the cups of small mountain lakes. Old farm lands from Mahwah to Lambertville slope up to the foothills, rising and falling with the rocky core of the country; only at intervals do they give way to industrial encroachments. This route cuts open a cross-section of 200 years of America. Here are spots important in American history: the first sizable iron works built in the Colonies, which helped turn the tide of the Revolution; concrete-buried Indian paths followed by the Continental Army under Washington; and the house where Morse and Vail labored to bring forth the first practical magnetic telegraph.
