Prospect Plains is an unincorporated community located within Monroe Township in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

Retail businesses generally line the two aforementioned county roads in the area but some single-family houses are clustered around the site of the Camden & Amboy railroad crossing of Prospect Plains Road.

Following the attempted development at the site of the tree to a gas station, the tree has been preserved and became the official symbol of Monroe Township.

[4][5] Prospect Plains was also the site of a railroad station on the Camden & Amboy Railroad, a one-room school house, and was the long-time home of the township's municipal office.
