About this map

Columbus serves as a central hub in this post-war landscape, where established agricultural traditions meet the expanding infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century. The map illustrates a dense network of farming and livestock operations, notably the Helis Stock Farm and the Walker Gordon Dairies near Juliustown. To the southeast, the massive footprint of the Fort Dix Military Reservation dominates the terrain, featuring the Tilton General Hospital and a complex array of military facilities. This area marks a significant intersection of civilian life and national defense, with the Pennsylvania Railroad providing critical transportation links through the countryside.
