1967 Map of Camden

About this map

The Delaware River separates the dense urban grids of Philadelphia and Camden, creating a landscape defined by heavy industry, shipping, and a complex network of mid-century infrastructure. This survey captures the region as suburban expansion surged into Pennsauken and Maple Shade, contrasting with the established residential neighborhoods of Collingswood and Haddon. Significant transit routes like the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Walt Whitman Bridge anchor the riverfront, while the New Jersey Turnpike and Atlantic City Expressway signal the era's shift toward high-speed automobile travel.
