About this map

The Raritan Arsenal and the Edison Memorial Tower stand as prominent landmarks in this industrial and residential landscape of northern Middlesex County. By the mid-1950s, the region was characterized by a dense network of transportation and manufacturing, anchored by the massive waterfront operations along the Arthur Kill and Raritan River. Large-scale infrastructure projects like the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway carve through established communities such as Perth Amboy, Rahway, and Metuchen, reflecting the era's post-war suburban and industrial expansion.
