Found this while looking for more vintage aerials. I'm sure some of you are already familiar with it, but I hadn't seen this web page before. Lots of good stuff here, although permission is only granted for private viewing.

There's an interesting glacial moraine map in that Rutgers collection. I did some crosschecking with your lidar, and you can actually see the moraine area. This below is just one section. I'm speaking of NW of Perth Amboy near Morristown and Plainfield. Well, I'd better edit my statement: I "think" this may be the moraine in this area.

That's what I used to display the geology in my pinesXT app, but unfortunately I don't cover that far North. However, you can access the map directly here and it will show the geology when you click on an area.

You can also do a search by clicking on that funnel icon. I got this by checking the GEONAME box and searching for "moraine", for example.
