About this map

Industrial developments and established riverfront communities line the banks of the Delaware River in this detailed survey of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border. On the Pennsylvania side, the city of Chester serves as a dense urban hub, showing institutions like St James High Sch and the Chester Rural Cem, while the worker-oriented neighborhood of Westinghouse Village sits near the river's edge. Cross-river industry is prominent at the Filtration Plant and various shore-side facilities.

Southward in New Jersey, the landscape shifts toward a mix of tidal marsh and agricultural drainage. Significant water management is evident in the Cedar Swamp and along Repaupo Creek, where a network of floodgates and ditches protects low-lying ground. Local history is preserved in rural landmarks such as Solomons Graveyard near Wolfert and the small milling sites at Hendrickson Millpond and Warrington Millpond. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New Jersey Turnpike, cutting through the townships of Greenwich and Woolwich.
