1891 Map of Easton
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Easton and Phillipsburg serve as the industrial anchors of this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the confluence of the Delaware River and Bushkill Creek meet a dense network of transit infrastructure. The area is defined by its complex canal systems, including the Morris Canal, Lehigh Canal, and Pennsylvania Canal, which provided vital waterways for moving coal and iron before the complete dominance of the railroads. This map captures a pivotal moment when both systems operated in parallel, showing the Morris and Essex Canal cutting through the hills alongside the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
