1955 Map of Bound Brook

About this map

Raritan River and Millstone River converge in this central New Jersey corridor, shaping a landscape defined by heavy industry and historic transport routes. The Delaware and Raritan Canal runs parallel to the river, a relic of nineteenth-century trade still visible alongside the massive rail networks of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley Railroad, and Reading Railroad. These transit lines fostered the growth of industrial hubs like Manville, which sits across from the academic grounds of Alma White College in Zarephath.
