1956 Map of Perth Amboy

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Industrial corridors and suburban expansion define the landscape between Perth Amboy and Scotch Plains during this mid-century period. The map reveals a high-density transport network where the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway intersect established rail lines like the Central RR of New Jersey. Along the Arthur Kill, the heavy industrial footprint is evident in the Maurer and Sewaren neighborhoods, contrasted by the specialized facilities of the State Home for Disabled Veterans and the U S Military Reservation Raritan Arsenal.
