1948 Map of Marcus Hook

On the New Jersey side, the U S Military Reservation and the marshes surrounding Oldmans Creek contrast with the dense urban development of Pennsylvania. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous community landmarks, such as Mt Hope Ch, the Franklin Sch, and several prominent burial grounds like Greenlawn Cem. The transition from rural crossroad communities like Booth Corner to the suburban sprawl of Brookhaven is clearly visible as the region industrialized during the mid-20th century.
