Perth Amboy stands at a vital industrial crossroads in 1947, where the Raritan River meets the Arthur Kill. This survey reveals a landscape heavily shaped by manufacturing and shipping, featuring the Raritan Copper Works, Am Smelting & Refining Co, and the Barber Asphalt Co lining the waterfront. Inland, the area transitions from dense urban grids to the growing townships of Woodbridge and Raritan, marked by local landmarks like the Edison Mem Beacon and the NJ State Reformatory.
