1967 Map of Weehawken

About this map

Teterboro Airport and the surrounding marshlands of Eight Day Swamp and Walden Swamp anchor this industrial and residential landscape of northern New Jersey in the late 1960s. The dense corridor between the Hackensack River and Passaic River shows a complex web of infrastructure, from the Secaucus Station on the Penn Central line to the extensive Croxton Yards. In the east, the map captures the steep transition from the Hudson River at Weehawken Cove up to Kings Bluff, where urban centers like Union City and Weehawken overlook the river. Numerous cultural landmarks are visible, including St Michaels Monastery, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and several large burial grounds like Grove Church Cem and Flower Hill Cem. A notable concentration of communications infrastructure is marked by numerous Radio Towers including Wins, Wado, and WHN scattered throughout the meadowlands.
