1954 Map of South Amboy

About this map

Raritan Arsenal dominates the northern shore of the Raritan River in this mid-century view of the industrial and residential corridors of Middlesex County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of transportation and industry, from the Conrail lines feeding the shipping facilities at Perth Amboy to the numerous sand and gravel pits around Sayreville. In the south, the terrain shifts toward the wetlands of Cheesequake State Park and the low-lying Burnt Fly Bog, illustrating the boundary between the heavily developed riverfront and the more rural reaches of Old Bridge and Marlboro.
