1955 Map of Belvidere

About this map

Belvidere serves as the focal point of this riverfront landscape, situated where the Pequest River joins the Delaware River. This mid-century survey illustrates a complex transportation and industrial corridor, featuring the Conrail lines and remnants of an Old RR Grade that supported the local economy. Beyond the town centers of Oxford and Bridgeville, the map reveals small rural communities such as Sarepta and Manunka Chunk, often organized around church and school buildings like the Montana Ch and the local High School.
