1956 Map of Riegelsville

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border, where industry and agriculture meet along the steep embankments of Musconetcong Mountain and Pohatcong Mountain. Industrial heritage is evident at Durham Furnace near the mouth of Cooks Creek, a site of historic iron production that shaped the surrounding communities of Durham and Riegelsville. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, including the Penn Central rail lines and the Gaging Sta monitoring the river's flow.
