Ledgewood is the western commercial node: New Jersey Route 10 has its western terminus at US 46 here, and the big-box retail that follows that kind of junction followed.
Drakes Brook rises in Ledgewood and runs southwest to the South Branch of the Raritan. The Morris Canal also passed through — Morris Canal Ledgewood Park preserves part of its alignment and an interpretive marker.
