Jersey City Map Art

Jersey City's grid runs perpendicular to the Hudson River, with the waterfront defining the eastern edge and PATH rail lines threading north-south through the blocks. The city sits on a peninsula bounded by the Hudson to the east, the Hackensack River to the north and west, and Newark Bay to the south, creating a compressed rectangular footprint. Downtown clusters near Exchange Place and the PATH stations, while the waterfront redevelopment along the Hudson traces a sharp linear boundary between the city and Manhattan across the water.
