USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Camp Kilmer and the Raritan Arsenal dominate the southern landscape in this 1947 post-war view, marking a significant military presence in the corridor between Plainfield and New Brunswick. The map captures a moment of intense industrial and transit connectivity, with the Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley Railroad, and Reading Railroad crisscrossing the region. These rail lines served the dense residential blocks of North Plainfield and Dunellen, as well as emerging aviation hubs like Hadley Airport.
