Grovers Mill, NJ is listed as a bona fide populated place in
Mercer county, on the Hightstown 7.5' topographic map, at
401900N0743635W, but it does not show on most road maps.
I think it's more of a subdivision than a town.

This would put it about 0.63 miles straight east of Princeton
Junction, NJ, which should be on your map.
