1955 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Great Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century landscape, a contrast to the burgeoning post-war suburban corridors developing along the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR. The Passaic River snakes between the rising slopes of the Watchung Mountains and Long Hill, anchoring a string of valley settlements from Stirling to New Providence. This era shows the distinct footprint of industrial and institutional growth, from the Waterworks and Sewage Disposal sites to the expansive Watchung Reservation.
