1955 Map of Paterson
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Paterson stands at the heart of this urbanized corridor where the Passaic River bends sharply through a landscape of heavy industry and dense residential neighborhoods. The river, widening into Dundee Lake, anchors a series of municipal landmarks including City Hall and the Armory. To the west, the terrain rises significantly toward Preakness Mountain and High Mtn, providing a stark topographical contrast to the river valley. This elevation change is utilized for critical infrastructure like the Point View Reservoir and Haledon Reservoir.
