1967 Map of Camden

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the primary artery between Philadelphia and Camden in this late 1960s study, illustrating a landscape defined by intensive transit and industrial infrastructure. Multiple spans, including the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Walt Whitman Bridge, connect the two riverfronts, while the Penn Central and Reading rail lines weave through established neighborhoods like Merchantville and Collingswood. The map provides significant genealogical and local history detail, locating numerous memorial sites such as Harleigh Cemetery, Locustwood Cemetery, and Crescent Burial Park. Inland, the suburban expansion of Cherry Hill and Pennsauken is evident, showing a dense network of local institutions from Merchantville High Sch to Cooper Hospital. Small water bodies like Haddon Lake and Hopkins Pond offer contrast to the heavy urban development surrounding Petty Island.
