1947 Map of Elizabeth
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Newark Airport and the Port of Newark dominate the central marshlands of this mid-century survey, illustrating the industrial and logistical expansion into the meadowlands of Elizabeth and Newark. The map reveals a dense urban fabric extending from the commercial centers of Harrison and Irvington down to the bustling waterfront of Elizabethport. Transportation is the primary driver of this landscape, with the Passaic River and Newark Bay hosting a complex network of shipping channels like the North Channel, while the Lackawanna Ry and multiple passenger stations facilitate heavy commuter and freight traffic.
