1955 Map of Bristol

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at the industrial corridor between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Industrial and residential expansion is evident in the grid patterns of Bristol and Burlington, where established neighborhoods like Bath Addition and Margo Gardens sit near the river's edge. The map captures the complex transportation network of the era, featuring the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the New Jersey Turnpike as they facilitate movement across the region.
