1947 Map of Caldwell
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Hatfield Swamp and the Troy Meadows define the low-lying basin where the Passaic River meets the Whippany River. This postwar landscape reveals a dense network of suburban development and civic infrastructure at the border of Morris and Essex Counties. Institutional landmarks such as the Essex County Sanitarium and Essex County Penitentiary occupy significant tracts near Verona, while aviation is well-represented by the Caldwell-Wright Airport and two smaller fields near Hanover Neck. The concentration of numerous golf courses, including Greenbrook and Essex Fells, reflects the mid-century leisure-based land use patterns in this region. Local historians can trace established transit corridors like the Erie Railroad and Bloomfield Ave, which shaped the growth of Caldwell and its neighboring boroughs.
