1910 Maps from William S. Bayley’s Iron Mines and Mining in New Jersey

Nearly 20 years ago, my friend Dan got ahold of William Shirley Bayley’s 1910 work Iron Mines and Mining in New Jersey, the 7th volume of state geology history works and a wonderful reference for anyone interested in the state’s geological and industrial history.

The state has publicized this work – see the link above – but the real treasure is the map, split into two large format pocket maps that came with the original work. In general, I haven’t been satisfied with the quality of online scans available, so with permission I am publishing Dan’s scans. There is an East and West version, both pieced together from smaller high resolution scans of the two maps.

They can be found below and here: East and West.
