1905 Map of Hackettstown

About this map

Hackettstown serves as a central hub in this early twentieth-century landscape, where the Musconetcong River and the winding route of the Morris Canal intersect with a dense network of industrial transport. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural valleys of Tranquility and Vienna to the more industrial corridor defined by the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR. The southern portion of the survey is dominated by the steep rise of Schooley Mountain and the prominent Oxford Tunnel, reflecting the era's engineering efforts to move freight through the Highlands.
