1891 Map of Easton
USGS Topo · Published 1906About this map
Easton and Phillipsburg serve as the industrial anchors at the confluence of the Delaware River and Bushkill Creek, where the complex transportation networks of the late nineteenth century converged. This survey, conducted by W. R. Atkinson and the Geological Survey of New Jersey, reveals a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure of the canal era and the rising dominance of rail. The Morris Canal and Pennsylvania Canal trace the riverbanks, paralleled by a dense grid of competing lines including the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Central Railroad Of New Jersey.
