1995 Map of Caldwell
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
The Passaic River meanders through the heart of this landscape, separating the dense residential developments of Livingston and West Caldwell from the marshy expanses of Hatfield Swamp and Great Piece Meadows. This area reveals a complex mid-to-late 20th-century suburban environment defined by institutional landmarks and transportation hubs, including the Essex County Airport and the historic Hanover Station along the Morristown and Erie RR. Institutional presence is significant, marked by the Caldwell College for Women, Northeastern Bible Institute, and a notable concentration of municipal infrastructure such as the County Sanitarium and County Penitentiary. The geological transitions from the river lowlands to the First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain ridges are clearly delineated, showing how these natural barriers shaped the growth of communities like Verona and West Orange.
