USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Rahway River and its tributaries define the industrial and suburban landscape of Union County in the late 1940s, a period of dense development bounded by significant parklands. Major transport corridors like the Central RR of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley RR converge at Cranford Junction, highlighting the region's importance as a rail hub between Westfield and Roselle. These tracks parallel primary thoroughfares such as South Avenue and Central Avenue, which supported the growing residential centers of Garwood and Roselle Park.
