1955 Map of Orange
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Watchung Mountains rise along the western edge of this mid-1950s survey, overlooking a densely developed urban corridor defined by the Passaic River. This map illustrates the post-war growth of Essex County, showing the intersection of heavy rail infrastructure like the Erie RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR with new thoroughfares like the Garden State Parkway. The landscape is a mix of tightly packed residential blocks in Newark and Passaic and expansive public greenspaces, including the Eagle Rock Reservation and Branch Brook Park.
