About this map

Petty Island sits at the heart of this riverine landscape, anchored by the infrastructure connecting Richmond, Pennsylvania, to the suburban expanses of New Jersey. This 2011 survey illustrates the dense urban and suburban development of Camden and its neighbors, characterized by an intricate network of residential neighborhoods like Wellwood, Jordantown, and Golden Triangle. The transition from industrial waterfronts near Port Richmond to the residential character of Merchantville and Haddonfield is clearly visible, with numerous parks and cemeteries serving as green lungs for the region.

Institutional landmarks such as Rutgers University Camden and the LEAP Academy University Charter School define the academic corridor, while local history is preserved at sites like Old Saint Marys Cemetery and Harleigh Cemetery. The map also traces the significant role of the Delaware River and its tributaries, including the Cooper River and Newton Creek, which shaped the early settlement patterns and subsequent industrial growth of these communities.
