1966 Map of Beverly

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this mid-1960s survey, separating the burgeoning industrial and residential corridor of Bucks County from the riverfront towns of Burlington County. On the Pennsylvania side, large institutional footprints such as the Philadelphia State Hospital and the County Prison Farm sit alongside the North Philadelphia Airport, reflecting the mid-century infrastructure and land-use patterns of the region. Transportation is dominated by the Penn Central rail lines and the established road networks of U.S. 130 and I-95, which fueled the expansion of suburban developments like Eddington Gardens and Winder Village. Across the water in New Jersey, the town of Beverly and the nearby Beverly National Cemetery stand as established landmarks within a landscape increasingly occupied by newer housing tracts and the Olympia Lakes.
