1954 Map of Chester

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chester and Succasunna anchor this mid-century topographic survey of Morris County, documenting a landscape at the threshold of significant suburban expansion. While older agricultural nodes like Flanders, Bartley, and Naughright maintain their distinct village footprints, 1970 revisions shown in purple reveal the rapid growth of residential subdivisions north of Drakes Brook and near Hillside Ch. The industrial history of the region is still legible through the Central RR of New Jersey corridors and the presence of a Sand Pit near the Lamington River.
