Any map that is redesigning counties really would have to start with this one.

Here's my redrawn county map of NJ, complete with names:

No effort was made to preserve existing counties, which do a quite poor job of reflecting current settlement patterns or cultural combinations in many areas. Tried to split no municipalities but ended up splitting Franklin Township (in RL Somerset County) because it just doesn't work whole. New names are mostly taken from local geographic features, especially rivers, with greater Native American influence intended. Another goal was to create a heavily minority urban county centered on Newark-Elizabeth (Newark County), and I believe Princeton County would be the most heavily Asian county outside of Hawaii.

Also I got to draw another large-ish Orange County for everyone to get confused over.
