1954 Map of Tranquility

About this map

The Musconetcong River and Pequest River valleys define this northern New Jersey landscape, which was revised in 1954 to show postwar updates. The map highlights the rural character of southeastern Sussex and northeastern Warren counties, where small settlements like Tranquility and Allamuchy anchor the farming and early recreational landscape. Significant transportation corridors, including the Erie Lackawanna and the Lehigh and Hudson River railroads, intersect the terrain, illustrating the region's importance as a transit hub between the Delaware Water Gap and the New York metropolitan area.
