About this map

The Hackensack River valley in the mid-1930s shows an intensive network of residential expansion and recreation, anchored by the massive Oradell Reservoir to the north. This period captures the suburbanization of Bergen County, where planned communities like Radburn sit alongside older established centers such as Hackensack, Ridgewood, and Garfield. The landscape is notably dotted with social and institutional landmarks, from the Bergen Pines County Hospital to a high concentration of private recreation grounds like the Arcola Golf Club and Ridgewood Golf Club.
