2019 Map of Bristol

About this map

Bristol and Burlington anchor this detailed study of the riverfront corridor along the Delaware River, where the historic industrial and transit legacy of Pennsylvania and New Jersey meets. The map documents a dense network of suburban developments such as Willingboro and Roebling, alongside significant cultural landmarks like the Saint Marks Roman Catholic Churchyard and the historically noted settlement of Timbucktoo. The river itself is a complex series of navigational channels, including the Lehigh Channel and Devlin Channel, which skirt the large Burlington Island. Land use patterns show a distinct mix of early Quaker influence, seen at the Rancocas Quaker Burying Ground, and modern infrastructure like the Inductotherm Airport and the New Jersey Tpke, illustrating the region's evolution from colonial river crossings to a major mid-Atlantic transportation hub.
