Subject: Grover's Mill, NJ

I've heard the story about Orson Welles choosing Grover's Mill, NJ as the
site of the
"War of the Worlds" landing in the 1938 broadcast by throwing a dart at a
road map of New Jersey.  Has anyone ever seen this town actually on a
map?

(As I understand it, "Grover's Mill" is not an actual town -- just an
informal name for a certain neighborhood in one or two townships of New
Jersey).
