1955 Map of Raritan

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Raritan River and its major tributaries, the North Branch and South Branch, dictate the geography of this mid-century Somerset County landscape. The area is characterized by a mix of established town centers like Raritan and smaller agricultural junctions such as Readington and Centerville. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant feature, with the Central RR of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley RR cutting through the terrain, supporting local commerce and the US Military Res Belle Mead General Depot in the south.
