1955 Map of Frenchtown

About this map

The Delaware River forms a sharp boundary between Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as it flows past the established riverfront boroughs of Frenchtown and Milford. This mid-century landscape is defined by its deep river-and-rail heritage, with the Penn Central line running tight against the eastern bank and smaller settlements like Upper Black Eddy and Uhlerstown dotting the opposite shore. Away from the water, the terrain rises sharply toward Musconetcong Mountain and Riegel Ridge in the north.
