1948 Map of Roosevelt

About this map

Roosevelt stands as a notable center of planned development in this 1948 survey, formerly known as Jersey Homesteads, an agricultural and industrial colony established during the Depression. The surrounding landscape of central New Jersey is defined by a intricate network of watercourses and agrarian infrastructure, including Assunpink Creek and the headwaters of the Millstone River. To the south, the terrain transitions into a region marked by numerous Cranberry bogs and small crossroads settlements such as Clarksburg and Red Valley.
