1954 Map of Stockton

About this map

Delaware River watercraft and rail traffic define the western edge of this Hunterdon County landscape, where the Pennsylvania Canal and Belvidere Delaware RR parallel the shoreline. The 1954 cultural data, updated with 1970 aerial revisions, reveals a transition from the industrial riverfront at Stockton and Lambertville to the upland farming communities of Sergeantsville and Locktown. Local landmarks such as the Green Sergeant Covered Bridge over Wickecheoke Creek and various rural parish sites like Lower Amwell Ch illustrate the enduring settlement patterns of the region. The map also captures mid-century developments, including a Drive-in Theater near the East Amwell border, contrasting with older family and community landmarks like the Barber Cem and Prallsville Cem. Crossing into Pennsylvania, the survey shows the winding Solebury landscape and the connection at Center Bridge.
