Similar to the inset of Washington (South River) at the top of Walling's 1861 "Map of the county of Middlesex, New Jersey: from actual surveys."
There are five differences between 2008.037.001 and the Walling map the Library of Congress has online at http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3813m.la000457. The LOC version from 1861 includes the cemetery and three other notations that are missing from the South River Museum version. In the block bordered by Main, Ferry, and an unnamed street, the LOC version lists Bissett and S. Whitehead. Near the corner of Ferry and Jackson Streets, it also shows a Pottery.
One notation on the South River version is missing from the LOC version. Along Obert Street, just above S. Whitehead, we have Geo. Smith.
