About this map

Petty Island and the Back Channel anchor this detailed study of the industrial and residential corridors connecting New Jersey to Pennsylvania. The Delaware River serves as the central artery, crossed by the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Walt Whitman Bridge, which facilitated the mid-century expansion of Camden and its surrounding boroughs. The map highlights a dense network of suburban development in places like Cherry Hill and Haddonfield, punctuated by expansive green spaces such as Garden State Park and the grounds of Calvary Cemetery.

Infrastructure from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the New Jersey Turnpike illustrates the region's role as a transportation hub. Local history is preserved through numerous neighborhood schools and churches, including St Marys Cemetery and St Stephens Ch. The presence of several medical facilities like Cherry Hill Hospital and Northeastern Hospital reflects the growing urban infrastructure during the 1960s.
