We ask that you acknowledge the NJGWS as the source and provide a citation to the map or publication. NJGWS publications may also contain copyrighted maps or figures as noted in the text; permission to reproduce these copyrighted items must be secured from the copyright owner. There are three NJGWS publications that are copyrighted: ‘Battles and Skirmishes of the American Revolution in New Jersey’ (report and map) and ‘Delaware and Raritan Canal Historic Map, 1976′. These publications can be referenced but not reproduced.

Unpublished NJGWS data and reports are considered to be in the U.S. public domain. Unpublished NJGWS data and reports are provided after submitting a written request to the NJ State Geologist. You can freely use these unpublished data under the conditions that the data are unchanged, any caveats about the data are acknowledged, and NJGWS is acknowledged as the source.
