1954 Map of Stockton

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the border between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On the eastern bank, the Delaware and Raritan Canal runs parallel to the water through Stockton, where the industrial legacy of Prallsville and the crossing to Center Bridge are clearly defined. Across the river, the Pennsylvania Canal traces the western shore through Solebury. The landscape is a network of historic rural settlements and crossroads, featuring landmarks like the Green Sergeant Covered Bridge and the Sandy Ridge Ch. The terrain transitions from the river valley up toward Mt Gilboa and the rolling heights of Kingwood and East Amwell. This survey preserves the placement of numerous family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the Locktown Cem and Barber Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Hunterdon County.
