About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this densely developed urban corridor, connecting the industrial waterfronts of Philadelphia and Camden during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by its massive transportation infrastructure, including the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and Betsy Ross Bridge, which span the river to link Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On the Jersey side, the Cooper River and Cooper River Lake provide a green axis through communities like Collingswood and Haddon Heights, contrasting with the heavy rail lines of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey RR and the industrial activity near Petty Island.

Genealogists will find a concentrated cluster of burial sites, including the expansive Harleigh Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the Old Camden Cemetery. Educational and social landmarks are numerous, from Pennsauken High Sch to the Camden Home for Children. The map also documents the transition from the dense urban core of East Camden to suburban developments in Maple Shade and Cherry Hill, reflecting the late-20th-century footprint of the South Jersey region.
