Chester and its industrial riverfront dominate the northern half of this 2019 survey, where the Delaware River serves as the dividing line between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Pennsylvania side is densely populated, featuring the campus of Widener University and a concentration of significant historical sites, including Saint Michaels Roman Catholic Cem and Saint Pauls Burying Ground. In contrast, the New Jersey side near Bridgeport and Repaupo reveals a landscape defined by water management and drainage, marked by features like Old Canal, White Sluice Race, and Aunt Debs Ditch. This transition from the urban density of Eddystone and Ridley Park to the marshy lowlands of Gloucester Co illustrates the varied development patterns of the region, from early mill sites like Hendrickson Millpond to the sprawling modern infrastructure of Philadelphia International Airport.
