1966 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of suburban expansion and industrial transport between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On the Pennsylvania side, large institutional footprints such as the Philadelphia State Hospital and County Prison Farm dominate the landscape near Byberry Creek, while the Reading RR and Penn Central rail lines facilitate heavy industry and transit. Across the water, New Jersey’s riverside communities like Beverly and Delanco show a dense mix of residential streets and community landmarks, including the Beverly National Cemetery.
