Is Zion in Hillsborough, Montgomery or both? Is Rock Creek Bridge in Zion?

The two sources I can find from New Jersey's Locality Search and Montgomery Township's History place Zion in Montgomery Township. It may be useful to indicate that it borders Hillsborough Township, but it would seem that we need a source to support the connection to Hillsborough and I'm not sure that the Category:Hillsborough Township, New Jersey is justified.

I had better luck with this link to the NPS details for Rock Creek Bridge than the source provided, which may be worth checking. But is Rock Creek Bridge *in* Zion. The data provided by the GNIS source only provides a point on a map, and it's unclear from that one-dimensional point just how far Zion extends. This source from Somerset County places the bridge itself in both Hillsborough and Montgomery, but is the bridge in Zion and is there a reliable source to support that?

The GNIS coordinates and the map search both plot on Google as Hillsborough Township. The map shows a stream there on the border where a road crosses. Its probably the bridge over that stream.Famartin (talk) 20:42, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the bridge is pretty much in Zion. The distance between the GNIS coordinates and the bridge coordinates (as listed on the somerset county historic register page) is a massive... 390 feet. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Long+Hill+Rd%2FZion+Wertsville+Rd&daddr=Long+Hill+Rd&hl=en&sll=40.440546,-74.738617&sspn=0.026881,0.038581&geocode=FdsPaQIdVpGL-w%3BFTsTaQIddpSL-w&t=p&mra=pr&z=15 Famartin (talk) 01:24, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
