About this map

Industrial waterfronts and heavy rail corridors define this mid-century portrait of Jersey City and its neighbors. The landscape is dominated by massive logistics infrastructure, from the sprawling Meadows Yards in the north to the Greenville Yards on Upper Bay. The map documents a period of transition, with Conrail lines stitching together established neighborhoods like Communipaw and West Bergen while new developments like Liberty State Park begin to appear along the shoreline.

Strategic maritime and military installations are prominent, including the Bayonne Supply Center and the Caven Point Army Terminal. Beyond the piers and warehouses, the map captures the dense urban fabric of Hoboken and Bayonne, punctuated by local landmarks such as Stevens Institute of Tech, Roosevelt Stadium, and Holy Name Cemetery. Across the water, the New York shoreline reveals the industrial activity of Red Hook and the harbor defenses at Fort Jay on Governors Island.
