1944 Map of Newark
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Newark and Philadelphia metropolitan corridors dominate this mid-century landscape, connected by the burgeoning New Jersey Turnpike and a dense network of transit lines. The map reveals an era where the Pennsylvania Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad still served as vital arteries through the industrial heartlands of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Reading. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain rises into the Pocono Mountains and Kittatinny Mountain, while the shorelines of Staten Island and Sandy Hook remain prominent coastal landmarks.
