1943 Map of Hamburg
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Wallkill River corridor in Sussex County is defined here by a heavy concentration of early 1940s industry and transport, where the Lehigh and Hudson River RR and Lehigh and New England RR converge near Franklin. This era shows a landscape of extraction and production, with numerous Stone Quarries and a Sand Quarry scattered along the slopes of Hamburgh Mountain. The settlement of Sussex serves as a hub, supporting local operations like the Alderney Milk & Cream Co and serving as a junction for the New York Susquehanna and Western RR. Rural life is preserved through several township schools, including Wantage TWS School and Hardiston TWS School, while the presence of Fairview Cemetery and N Hardiston Cemetery provides valuable data for genealogical research into the families of the Wallkill and Vernon Valley.
