1955 Map of Belvidere

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the townships of Upper Mount Bethel and Lower Mount Bethel in Pennsylvania from the New Jersey interior. The borough of Belvidere sits at the confluence with the Pequest River, revealing a dense grid of residential streets, a High School, and the Hillside Cemetery. This period shows the region's heavy reliance on transportation, with the Penn Central and Lehigh and Hudson River railroads threading through the valleys to serve small rural hubs like Bridgeville Station and Roxburg Station.
