USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Delaware River defines the industrial and urban character of this mid-century survey, separating Philadelphia from the dense suburban expansion of Camden. Along the waterfront, active shipping and transit infrastructure are evident, from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge to the many wrecks and dolphins lining the channel around Petty Island. This era captures a landscape in transition, where established neighborhoods like Merchantville and Collingswood meet newer developments such as Erlton.
