1957 Map of Allentown

About this map

Allentown serves as a central hub in this mid-century landscape where Mercer, Monmouth, and Burlington counties converge. The area retains a distinctly agricultural character, defined by numerous small hamlets and mill sites such as Carsons Mills, Walnford, and Kirbys Mills. Waterpower remains a visible part of the geography through Conines Millpond and Imlaystown Lake, while the Pennsylvania RR and the New Jersey Turnpike cut through the northern townships, signaling the transition toward modern transit.
