1967 Map of Camden

About this map

The industrial and residential expansion of Camden and its neighbors in the mid-1960s is preserved here, as suburban growth began to densify around the core urban centers. Extensive rail networks like the Penn Central, Reading, and Pennsylvania lines define the landscape, connecting the Delaware River waterfront and Petty Island to the surrounding communities. The transition from industrial corridors to meticulously planned green spaces is evident in the layout of Cooper River Parkway and the sprawling grounds of Harleigh Cemetery.
