1938 Map of Paterson
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
The Passaic River anchors this pre-war survey, winding through the industrial heart of Paterson and East Paterson. The dense urban grid of the city, complete with the Post Office and City Hall, contrasts sharply with the western slopes of the Watchung Mountains. Higher elevations near High Mountain and the Garret Mountain Reservation reveal a landscape transitioning from wilder terrain to established institutions like St Michaels Orphanage and the North Jersey Training School.
