1947 Map of Orange
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Orange Mountain and the First Watchung Mountain anchor the western edge of this dense metropolitan landscape during the post-war era. The transition from industrial corridors to early suburban expansion is evident in the tightly packed street grids of Newark, Bloomfield, and East Orange, contrasted with the larger institutional tracts and recreational spaces to the west. Significant local infrastructure of the period is prominent, including the Caldwell-Wright Airport and massive public works like the Cedar Grove Reservoir.
