1948 Map of Bordentown

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the western anchor of this landscape, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Delaware & Raritan Canal converge near Bordentown. The postwar expansion of the late 1940s is evident in the emerging suburban clusters of Trenton Gardens, De Cou Village, and The Orchards, while the newly added New Jersey Turnpike cuts a modern path through traditional farming townships. To the south, the massive footprint of Fort Dix and Mc Guire Air Force Base dominates the terrain, marking a significant military presence. Local industry and historic transit points are scattered throughout, from the milling sites at Hutchinson Mills and Carsons Mills to the Pa Maritime Academy on the riverbank. This survey captures a pivotal moment when the rural character of Hamilton and Chesterfield began to meet the rapid infrastructure growth of the mid-20th century.
