1967 Map of Elizabeth
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Newark and Elizabeth anchor this industrial and transport landscape in the late 1960s, a period of massive infrastructure and urban density. The Newark International Airport and the complex interchange of the New Jersey Turnpike dominate the center, illustrating the post-war shift toward air and highway travel. Despite this modernization, the area remains a heavy rail hub with the Central RR of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Railroad serving the Oak Island Yards and waterfront terminals. Education and civic life are prominent through established institutions like Seton Hall Univ and Rutgers Univ (Newark Campus). For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its detailed marking of sprawling burial grounds, including the massive Evergreen Cemetery and Rose Hill Cemetery, alongside numerous local parish churches such as St Marys Ch and St Johns Sch Ch.
