USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Pennsylvania Railroad anchors this central New Jersey landscape, cutting a diagonal path through a mix of academic institutions, specialized research facilities, and agricultural estates. In the early 1940s, the area south of Kingston served as a notable hub for education and science, featuring the St Josephs College for Boys and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The borough of Hightstown sits as a primary center of population at the intersection of local roads and rail lines, characterized by the presence of the Peddie Prep Sch near the banks of Rocky Brook.
