Heathcote Brook, also known as Heathcote Run, is a tributary of the Millstone River in central New Jersey in the United States.
A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the main stem river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean.
The Millstone River is a 38.6-mile-long (62.1 km) tributary of the Raritan River in central New Jersey in the United States.
New Jersey is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States.
