USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Industrial waterfronts and massive rail yards define this 1947 portrait of the harbor, where the Hackensack River and Passaic River meet at Newark Bay. The landscape is dominated by the logistics of the era, from the sprawling Meadows Yard to the Lehigh Valley Freight Sta. These transit hubs supported a dense urban grid in Jersey City and Hoboken, connected to Manhattan via the Holland Vehicular Tunnels and the Exchange Pl Sta.
