About this map

Delaware River serves as the central artery for this industrial corridor, separating the densely developed boroughs of Pennsylvania from the expansive marshlands and agricultural stretches of New Jersey. On the northern shore, the grid patterns of Chester and Eddystone reflect centuries of urban growth, while smaller worker enclaves like Westinghouse Village and Lester dot the landscape near the Philadelphia International Airport. This portion of the river is a high-traffic maritime zone, marked by the Eddystone Range and Billingsport Range navigation channels.

South of the river, the landscape transitions into the low-lying Gloucester County interior. Extensive wetlands and watercourses like Repaupo Creek and Raccoon Creek define the topography, where scattered settlements such as Bridgeport and Gibbstown are surrounded by landmarks like Greenwich Lake and Cedar Swamp. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the region, ranging from the Saint Pauls Burying Ground in the north to the secluded Solomons Graveyard and Old Stone Church Cem in the rural south.
