1953 Map of Lambertville

About this map

Lambertville and New Hope anchor this 1953 landscape, connected across the Delaware River by a bridge that bridges both states and cultures. The topography is defined by significant ridges like Solebury Mountain and Jericho Mountain, while the river corridor is marked by institutional and commemorative landmarks. To the south, the Washington Crossing State Park occupies both banks, reflecting the site’s deep Revolutionary War associations at Taylorsville and Washington Crossing. Away from the river, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and residential hamlets of Bucks County and Hunterdon County, where smaller communities like Solebury, Wrightstown, and Dolington are linked by winding roads and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Local history is visible in the distribution of rural landmarks, from the St Martins Ch and Thompson Memorial Cem to the Mercer County Workhouse near Belle Mountain.
