1947 Map of Yonkers
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Hudson River serves as the central divide between the steep palisades of New Jersey and the dense industrial and residential corridors of New York in the late 1940s. On the western bank, the Palisades Interstate Park dominates the riverfront, hiding recreational landmarks like Canoe Beach and Huylers Beach beneath the cliffs. The plateau above is dotted with established Bergen County boroughs such as Alpine, Tenafly, and Englewood, where the Northern Railroad of New Jersey shaped the suburban development. A notable historic site, the Camp Merritt Mem Monument, stands near Dumont as a reminder of the area's significance as a World War I embarkation camp.
