1954 Map of Stockton

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the dominant boundary on this mid-century survey, dividing the village of Stockton in Hunterdon County from the Pennsylvania side at Center Bridge. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wickecheoke Creek and Alexauken Creek, which carve through the terrain toward the river. Notable for its historical infrastructure, the area includes the Green Sergeant Covered Bridge and the Delaware Canal running parallel to the riverbank. Small rural hubs like Sergeantsville, Rosemont, and Sand Brook are connected by a network of local routes including York Road and Opdyke Road. The mapping reveals a community structured around its spiritual and educational centers, from the Lower Amwell Ch and Sandy Ridge Ch to the West Amwell Sch. Local industry and recreation are also evident in the presence of a Quarry near the river and a Drive-in Theater along the road toward Lambertville.
