About this map

The dense industrial and maritime corridor of Jersey City and Hoboken is frozen in time during this late 1960s revision. This map highlights the critical infrastructure of the harbor, from the Morris Canal Basin to the massive U S Military Reservation Caven Point Army Terminal. The urban landscape is marked by prominent landmarks such as Journal Square and Roosevelt Stadium, while the waterfront shows the active piers and terminals that defined the era. Significant transport arteries like the Pulaski Skyway and Holland Tunnel anchor the region's connection to Manhattan.

Institutional presence is heavy throughout the area, including St Peters College, Jersey City State College, and several parochial institutions like St Johns Sch. Across the water, the map details the military and heritage sites of Governors Island, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island. The transition of the shoreline is evident in the development of Liberty State Park and the extensive rail yards of the Pennsylvania RR and Conrail.
