1954 Map of Newfoundland

About this map

Newfoundland and Charlotteburg sit at the geographic heart of this mid-century New Jersey landscape, where the Pequannock River carves a path through the steep ridges of Kanouse Mountain and Jefferson Mountain. The era's transportation network is defined by the New York Susquehanna and Western railroad, which follows the river valley alongside rural arteries like Paradise Road. Significant water management features dominate the terrain, including the sprawling Clinton Reservoir and the Macopin Reservoir, illustrating the region's role in supplying water to growing urban centers. Local genealogy and history are preserved in markers such as the Vreeland Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and St Joseph Ch. The 1970s updates reveal the emergence of planned communities like Smoke Rise, contrasted against older hamlets like Postville and Macopin.
