1943 Map of Stockton

About this map

The Delaware River corridor defines this landscape, where the Delaware and Raritan Canal Feeder and the Pennsylvania Railroad (Belvidere Div) follow the shoreline north from Stockton. This survey captures the rural character of Hunterdon County in the early 1940s, marked by scattered hamlets like Locktown, Sergeantsville, and Sand Brook. The map reveals a highly localized infrastructure of the era, with small rural schools such as the Green School and Dilts Corner School serving the agrarian population. Near the river, industrial activity is evident at the Stone Quarry located below Mt Gilboa. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Wickecheoke Creek and Alexauken Creek, which flow through the hills toward the Hendrick Island section of the river, where Center Bridge links New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
