The Passaic River rises near Morristown, southeastern Morris county, northeastern New Jersey, U.S. It flows south past Millington, then north and east to Paterson and its Great Falls (70 feet high), at which point it turns south and east past Passaic and Newark and into Newark Bay. Some 80 miles long and with a drainage area of 935 square miles the river has been intensively developed as a source of power and water.

The name is derived from an Algonquian word meaning peaceful valley. Approximate Image Size: 5 1/4 X 7 3/4 inches Approximate Overall Size: 8 X 10 3/4 CONDITION: Very Good Condition.
