1954 Map of Morristown

About this map

The Morristown National Historical Park anchors this mid-century survey of Morris County, where Revolutionary War heritage meets post-war suburban development. The landscape is a complex network of established townships including Morristown, Florham Park, and Madison, connected by the Morristown and Erie Railroad and the older Erie Railroad lines. Academic and institutional presence is heavy, noted by the sprawling grounds of Drew University and the College of St Elizabeth, alongside the notable Greystone Park State Hospital in the northwest. Water features like Lake Parsippany and the Whippany River are flanked by expanding residential blocks, yet the Troy Meadows Natural Area preserves the low-lying wetlands of the east. This edition documents the region before the full completion of the interstate system, capturing the transition of the Whippany and Hanover areas into the modern commuter corridor.
