About this map

The Delaware River forms the industrial and maritime heart of this 2011 survey, where the borders of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey converge. The riverfront is dominated by the established ports of Marcus Hook and Trainer, while the inland landscape is shaped by the complex drainage of Chester Creek, Naamans Creek, and Oldmans Creek. This era reveals a dense network of suburban development and historical industry, indicated by legacy sites like Llewellyn Mill Dam, Duttons Mill, and Hickmans Mill.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify numerous community centers, from Village Green to Booths Corner, alongside vital records locations like Carter Cemetery and Lawn Croft Cemetery. The presence of the Baltimore & Ohio RR and the Marcus Hook Bar illustrate the area's continued reliance on heavy transport and river navigation. The map also highlights civil infrastructure such as the Marcus Hook Borough Hall and the Military Reservation near Oldmans Point, reflecting the region's strategic and administrative significance.
