1953 Map of Freehold

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Freehold and the surrounding townships of Madison, Marlboro, and Manalapan appear here during a transformative period of suburban expansion. While the borough of Freehold serves as a dense hub of activity with its Armory, Pumping Sta, and Sewage Disposal infrastructure, the outlying landscapes reveal a deep history of agrarian settlement and industry. Numerous mill sites are preserved in the nomenclature of the drainage basins, including Mounts Mills, Clarks Mills, Lafayette Mills, and Taylors Mills. The map also captures significant genealogical landmarks, most notably the Old Tennent Ch and its accompanying Old Tennent Cem, alongside the Old Scots Cem near Wickatunk. Transportation defines the area's layout, with the Central RR of New Jersey and Penn RR intersecting the region. Revisions from 1970 illustrate the rapid growth of housing developments between the traditional crossroads of Gordons Corner and Robertsville.
