USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The eastern slopes of Watchung Mountain define this densely settled landscape during a period of intense post-war urbanization. The residential expansion of Montclair, Bloomfield, and Clifton is captured at a point when the Garden State Parkway had begun to reshape the local geography, cutting through established neighborhoods and industrial zones. Large-scale institutional land use is a prominent theme, from the extensive grounds of Overbrook Hospital and the County Sanatorium to the academic campus of the State Teachers College.
