1906 Map of Bordentown

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Crosswicks Creek and its many tributaries, including Doctors Creek, carve through this central New Jersey landscape, defining the boundaries between early townships like Washington and Chesterfield. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century transportation, from the steam lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad to the Electric rail corridor near Mercerville. Agricultural and industrial life is evidenced by numerous water-powered sites such as Hutchinsons Mill and Carsons Mills, while the emerging military presence is anchored by the Camp Dix Military Reservation in the south. Established settlements like Bordentown and Allentown serve as regional hubs, connected by a web of rural roads to smaller post offices and stations such as Robbinsville PO and Newtown Sta. This survey captures the transition from a mill-based river economy to a landscape increasingly shaped by rail and early military expansion.
