About this map

The industrial and residential corridors of Chester and Marcus Hook dominate the northern banks of the Delaware River in this detailed 2016 study. The landscape reflects centuries of development, where established settlements like Aston Mills and Village Green give way to the dense urban grid of Upland and Parkside. This map captures the complex tri-state boundary where Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey meet amidst the water, highlighting maritime navigation markers such as the Chester Range and Marcus Hook Range.

Researchers will find a wealth of local landmarks, from institutional campuses like Neumann College to historic burial grounds including Lawn Croft Cemetery and Greenlawn Cemetery. Significant infrastructure, including the Naamans Bridge and the sprawling rail and road networks connecting Trainer and Linwood, illustrates the region's role as a vital transportation hub. South across the river, the wetlands and marshes surrounding Oldmans Creek and Birch Creek offer a sharp contrast to the developed urban centers of Delaware County.
