1956 Map of Newark
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The industrial corridor of the Mid-Atlantic appears in high detail during the mid-1950s, anchored by the dense urban centers of Newark and Philadelphia. This regional study traces the heavy infrastructure that powered the post-war economy, from the newly established New Jersey Turnpike to the established rail networks of the Lehigh Valley RR and the Pennsylvania RR. The landscape transitions from the coastal wetlands of Raritan Bay and Barnegat Bay to the inland ridges of Blue Mountain and Broad Mountain, illustrating the topographical constraints that shaped early settlement patterns.
