2016 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

Widener University-Main Campus anchors the northern urban landscape near the industrial waterfronts of Eddystone and Baldwin, Pennsylvania. Across the Delaware River, the New Jersey shore transitions from the heavy rail corridors of Gibbstown and Bridgeport into a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels including Repaupo Creek, Aunt Debs Ditch, and the Old Canal. The proximity to the Philadelphia International Airport and the massive infrastructure of the Commodore Barry Bridge highlights the area's role as a critical transportation hub. Away from the river, the landscape softens into agricultural and residential pockets like Repaupo and Asbury, where local heritage is preserved in sites such as Solomons Graveyard and Saint Josephs Cem. This 2016 survey captures the persistent industrial character of the river banks alongside the preserved marshlands of Little Tinicum Island and Monds Island.
