1953 Map of Easton
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Delaware River and Lehigh River converge at the heart of this mid-century industrial corridor, where the urban centers of Easton and Phillipsburg span the state line. This landscape is a complex network of transportation and heavy industry, featuring the Morris Canal, the Pennsylvania Canal, and multiple rail lines like the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The map details the transition from dense city blocks to the specialized industrial sites of the Vulcanite Cement Co and Ingersoll Rand Co. Beyond the manufacturing cores, the terrain rises into Chestnut Hill and Marble Mountain, dotted with local landmarks like the Fire Lookout Tower near Glendon and numerous neighborhood schools such as the Chief Tatamy School and Breisinger School. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Hays Cemetery and several parish churches like St Anthonys and St James Church.
