Newark Bay is a tidal bay at the confluence of the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers in northeastern New Jersey. It is home to the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, the largest container shipping facility in Port of New York and New Jersey, the second busiest in the United States. An estuary, it is periodically dredged to accommodate seafaring ships.
Port Newark is seen in the foreground looking northeast across the bay to Jersey City and the Manhattan borough of New York City.

The Passaic River is a river, approximately 80 miles (130 km) long, in Northern New Jersey. The river in its upper course flows in a highly circuitous route, meandering through the swamp lowlands between the ridge hills of rural and suburban northern New Jersey, called the Great Swamp, draining much of the northern portion of the state through its tributaries.

A spring located at approximately 40.761025,-74.581318 (visible in the lower right of the photo) located near the sharp bend in Spring Hill Road begins a small stream that flows roughly 1000 feet east northeast into Dubourg Pond. The stream is visible to the left of the spring flowing down into a grove of trees at the upper left of the photo. This spring likely represents the true headwater of the Passaic River.
Flowing between Summit and Chatham.
