1943 Map of Pennington
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Delaware River separates Washington Crossing Pa and Washington Crossing NJ in this 1943 War Department survey. Along the riverbanks, the Delaware and Raritan Canal runs parallel to the Pennsylvania Railroad, marking a critical transportation corridor near Scudders Falls. The map documents a region in transition during the war years, notably featuring the US Army Airfield adjacent to Mercer Airport and industrial sites like the Eastern Div General Motors plant near Ewing. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named corners such as Ackors Corner and Harts Corner, alongside institutional landmarks like the N J St Normal Sch and the State School for Deaf. The presence of Bear Tavern and St Georges Church highlights established community hubs amidst the developing wartime infrastructure of central New Jersey.
