1956 Map of Perth Amboy

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Arthur Kill and the Raritan River define the industrial and maritime character of this mid-century landscape, where heavy rail infrastructure and residential expansion converge. The presence of the U S Military Res Raritan Arsenal and the State Home For Disabled Veterans highlights the area's significant institutional footprint during the post-war years. As the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike cut through the heart of Woodbridge and Metuchen, the map documents the rapid transition from localized industrial nodes to a connected suburban network.
