1954 Map of Princeton

About this map

Princeton University dominates the academic and cultural landscape of this mid-century survey, surrounded by venerable institutions like the Theological Seminary and the Westminster Choir College. The map illustrates a dense concentration of educational history, from the Lawrenceville School in the southwest to the Hun Sch and St Pauls Sch. This era captures the community before modern suburban expansion fully bridged the gaps between outlying settlements like Penns Neck, Princessville, and Bakersville.
