1955 Map of Beverly
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border, dividing the industrial and residential growth of Bensalem and Bristol from the riverfront communities of Beverly and Delran. The landscape is dominated by institutional footprints and early suburban expansion, notably the sprawling grounds of the Philadelphia State Hospital and the County Prison Farm near Linconia. Transport networks including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Lincoln Highway dictate the development patterns of towns like Croydon and Cornwells Heights.
