1949 Map of Camden
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Delaware River serves as the industrial and transit spine for this mid-century landscape, separating the dense urban grid of Philadelphia from the expanding suburbs of New Jersey. In Camden, a massive rail infrastructure including the Pennsylvania Railroad and Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines feeds the waterfront docks and factories near Petty Island. This era captures the transition from heavy rail-and-river dependency to the automotive age, evidenced by the early footprint of the New Jersey Turnpike and the prominent Central Airport.
