1955 Map of Bound Brook

About this map

First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain dominate the northern landscape, while the southern reaches center on the confluence of the Raritan River and the Millstone River. The mid-century expansion of Somerville and Bound Brook is evident through significant industrial developments and transportation infrastructure, including the Central RR of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley lines. Local institutions like Alma White College in Zarephath and the Veterans Administration Supply Depot in Manville highlight the area's role as a regional hub for education and logistics.
