1935 Map of Weehawken
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Hackensack River and Hudson River define this 1935 industrial and residential landscape, where tidal marshes like Eight Day Swamp and Walden Swamp still occupy vast tracts between burgeoning boroughs. Significant institutional landmarks include the Hudson County Alms House Hospital and Penitentiary near Snake Hill and the Hudson County Hospital in Secaucus. The area is a dense network of early transit, showing the Erie RR and New York Central RR (West Shore) alongside developing corridors like State Hy No 6. Local history is captured in the numerous burial grounds such as Holy Cross Cem and Flower Hill Cem, as well as recreational sites like the Columbia Amusement Park in North Bergen. This survey provides a clear view of the complex infrastructure serving Weehawken, Hoboken, and the surrounding Bergen and Hudson County municipalities during the mid-1930s.
