Man, give an inch, people want a mile... ;)

Here's a revised annotated version. I've highlighted the Morris Canal
with the blue line, and also pointed out the location of a plane here in
Montville (inside that corner between the two roads there)

I've also noted where the DL&W's "New" Drew Yard was installed at the
east side of Boonton (top of image), and labeled the Pennick factory. As
has been pointed out by others, they made fragrances (a popular business
in this area, as Norda - just up the road in West Boonton - did the same
thing). Today, Pennick's is gone, with only a large concrete pad where
the factory building once stood. The Montville Township Historical
Society has a Museum right next to the factory location today.

Norda in Boonton fared better - they reorganized as "Adron" (yes, Norda
spelled backwards) and today still produces fragrances/flavors. They
haven't use rail service in 30 years no, however. :(
