1955 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chatham and the surrounding suburban corridors of Northern New Jersey are caught in a period of significant postwar expansion in this mid-century survey. While established centers like Summit and Madison show dense residential patterns, the purple-tinted revisions indicate rapid urban extension into previously wooded areas. The landscape is defined by the prominent Watchung Mountains and the winding Passaic River, which separates Morris and Somerset counties.
