1955 Map of Laurel

About this map

Laurel serves as the focal point of this Sussex County landscape, where the Pennsylvania railroad corridor meets the winding waters of Broad Creek. The town’s industrial and social infrastructure is well-defined, including the Odd Fellows Cemetery, the Radio Sta (WSUX), and the Laurel Airport. To the east and west, the terrain is shaped by an extensive network of drainage ditches and mill ponds, such as Records Pond and Chipman Pond, which reflect the historic reliance on local waterways for both commerce and land management.
