1957 Map of Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Bordentown and the surrounding agricultural townships of Burlington County are defined by a complex network of brooks and legacy homesteads in this mid-century survey. The landscape transitions from the riverfront at the Delaware R toward the sprawling grounds of the Fort Dix Military Reservation in the southeast. Notable local institutions like the Columbus Civic and Athletic Club and the Mount Holly Speedway appear alongside quiet rural landmarks such as St Andrews Ch and the Wallace Mill. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, with the New Jersey Turnpike cutting through the terrain and the Penn Central rail lines connecting established settlements. Smaller hamlets like Mansfield Square, Juliustown, and Jobstown retain their historic footprints amidst the rolling topography leading up to Arneys Mount, the most prominent elevation in the immediate area.
