Tour 10
Hill and Mountain Country

Elizabeth – Springfield – Morristown Washington – Phillipsburg – (Easton, Pa.); State S24 and State 24.
Elizabeth to Pennsylvania Line, 64 miles
The road is paralleled by the Lackawanna R.R. between Chatham and Morristown and between Beattystown and Phillipsburg; by the Jersey Central R.R. between Chester and Long Valley.
Frequent service stations; hotels in towns.
Roadbed is concrete for the most part, with stretches of improved macadam.

State 24 offers a peaceful drive through exhilarating hill and mountain country. In the eastern section wealthy estates and the orderly homes of the commuting middle class cover ground once torn by the struggle for independence. West of Morristown is a high rolling farm region; tidy grazing lands and partitioned plowed fields are set into the hills at slants reminiscent of New England. The hill district reaches its peak at Schooleys Mountain. Except for the big cement and heavy machinery plants near Phillipsburg, the route avoids industrial developments. State S24 branches northwest from State 28 (see Tour 17), 0 m., at Elmora and Westfield Aves. on the northern fringe of Elizabeth.
