1953 Map of Jamesburg
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Manalapan Brook and its valley anchor this mid-century survey of the central New Jersey interior, where the Pennsylvania railroad corridors and the newly established New Jersey Turnpike intersect an older agricultural landscape. The borough of Jamesburg serves as a local hub, with Lake Manalapan at its center and the expansive grounds of the State Home for Boys to the east. The map captures a transition from small, scattered hamlets like Prospect Plains, Half Acre, and Applegarth to the modern high-speed transportation infrastructure that would soon reshape the region.
