1955 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding suburban growth of the mid-1950s define this landscape at the intersection of Morris, Union, and Somerset counties. While the vast wetlands of the Great Swamp remain largely undeveloped, the surrounding ridges and valleys show significant post-war expansion, particularly in Berkeley Heights, New Providence, and Chatham. This survey documents the era's infrastructure before major highway projects dominated the region, showing the Conrail line connecting established town centers like Stirling, Gillette, and Summit.
