1947 Map of Bristol

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this 1940s landscape, dividing the industrial developments of Bristol, Pennsylvania, from the historic townships of Burlington County, New Jersey. This era shows a region transitioning from its river-dependent roots to a modern highway network, anchored by the American Legion Highway. Significant local heritage is visible in small settlements like the historic free Black community of Timbuctoo and the presence of social institutions such as the Masonic Home near Edgewood.
