Anyone know where I might find Sanborn maps for New Jersey? Am specifically looking for Port Reading, Woodbridge, Perth Amboy, Edison and Metuchen. Also, any info on the Camp Kilmer operations and the towers supporting Camp Kilmer, "Valley" on the LV located in Metuchen and "SN" on the Reading located where Talmadge Road goes over Route 287 in Edison.

The New Jersey Room at the Newark Public Library has an excellent collection on microfilm. You could also try the SciMed Library at Rutgers (Busch Campus) and the Firestone Library at Princeton.

The Alexander Library at Rutgers-New Brunswick has them on microfilm, in the periodicals department.

I have yet to go there for rail-info-finding purposes. Bet they got a lot of goodies in there.

The Rare Books Division has a large collection of New Jersey material. That might be a good place to look, too.
