Industrial activity along the Delaware River defines this 1940 survey of the borderlands between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Pennsylvania shore is heavily developed, anchored by the massive Locomotive Works near Eddystone and the Hog Island Shipyard (Abandoned) downstream. This heavy manufacturing hub contrasts sharply with the tidal marshes and agricultural landscape of Gloucester County, New Jersey. In the township of Greenwich and Logan, life is organized around small settlements like Bridgeport and Gibbstown, where the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads intersect the truck farms of the interior.
