1954 Map of Wanaque
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Ringwood Reservoir dominates this landscape, held back by the Raymond Dam and Wolf Den Dam along the Wanaque River. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from the wooded heights of the Norvin Green State Forest and Hickory Mtn to the bustling corridors of Wanaque-Midvale and Haskell. The transportation network is anchored by the Erie RR, which links settlements like Riverdale and Bloomingdale at Pompton Junction. Local educational and religious life is marked by the Eleanor Hewitt Sch and the Queen of the Rosary Sch near Erskine. Numerous smaller water bodies like Lake Sonoma, Lindy Lake, and Bear Swamp Lake dot the valleys between ridges like Torne Mtn, suggesting a region increasingly characterized by residential lakeside developments and protected recreational lands.
