Amwell Valley

The entire area has elevations around 200 feet above sea level.

US 202 (including a shared section with NJ 31) is the main route running west to east through the valley.

Old York Road also passes through the valley, taking a generally more southern route (Old York crosses 202 twice in the area) through Raritan and along the Sourlands at Mount Airy.

Like the Hunterdon Plateau, Amwell Valley still has a large number of farms due to its sufficient climate, relatively flat land and the presence of silt-loams soils.

[1] The valley is home to Unionville Winery and Old York Cellars in Ringoes.
