1955 Map of Trenton West

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the dividing line between New Jersey and Pennsylvania in this 1955 survey, which was photorevised in 1981 to show the rapid expansion of suburban developments. On the Pennsylvania side, the planned community of Levittown is shown in detail, with its distinct neighborhoods like Appletree Hill, Lakeside, and Stonybrook radiating from school sites such as the John Fitch Sch and Walt Disney Sch. Across the river, the urban core of Trenton is densely packed with institutional landmarks, including the State Capitol, Trenton Prison, and the State Hospital.
