About this map

Industrial works and military sites dominate this coastal New Jersey landscape during the early 1940s. The northern shoreline along the Raritan River and Raritan Bay is a hub of heavy production, featuring the Nixon Nitration Works, Sayer & Fisher Brick Co, and the Federal Seaboard Terra Cotta Mfg Co. Inland, the Raritan Arsenal Military Reservation occupies a massive footprint north of the river, while the Pennsylvania Railroad and Raritan River Railroad create a dense network of transit for these industrial centers.
