1948 Map of Allentown

About this map

Allentown and its surroundings serve as a central hub for this post-war landscape, where the convergence of the Mercer and Monmouth County lines meets a dense network of farming hamlets and early industrial sites. The borough itself is anchored by institutions like the Allentown High School and Doctor Farmers Hospital, while its outskirts are dotted with smaller settlements such as Imlaystown, Nelsonville, and Robbinsville. The map reveals a highly developed agricultural and transport corridor, from the Windsor Township School in the north to the Kirbys Mills area along Crosswicks Creek in the south.
