1956 Map of Perth Amboy
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Ash Brook Swamp Reservation and the sprawling U S Military Reservation Raritan Arsenal anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape during a period of intense mid-century suburbanization. The map documents the intricate web of infrastructure connecting Perth Amboy and Metuchen, featuring the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike as they cut through established neighborhoods like Fords and Colonia. This era represents the peak of industrial and transit density for the region, where the Raritan River and Arthur Kill waterfronts are dominated by rail yards and brick kilns.
