1954 Map of Blairstown

About this map

Blair Academy anchors the village of Blairstown, where the Paulins Kill river valley meets the rugged elevation of Hardwick and Blairstown townships. This mid-century landscape is defined by its educational and industrial heritage, from the historic campus and Blairstown Sta to the Kishpaugh Mines located southeast of Shiloh. The map illustrates a rural economy in transition, featuring numerous camps such as Camp Hope and Golden Chain Camp, alongside the recreational grounds of Jenny Jump State Forest.
