1954 Map of Boonton

About this map

Picatinny Arsenal dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its presence defined by the Military Reservation boundaries that intersect with the heights of Copperas Mtn. To the east, the extensive waters of Splitrock Reservoir and Farny State Park suggest a transition into the more forested, elevated terrain of the Montville Mountains. The industrial and residential development of Boonton and Denville centers on the corridor formed by the Rockaway River and the Conrail line, showing a dense network of suburban expansion in the mid-20th century.
