1953 Map of Marcus Hook
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The industrial corridor along the Delaware River defines this 1953 revision, where the dense urban grid of Chester meets the heavy maritime infrastructure of Marcus Hook. This period shows a landscape shaped by massive petroleum storage and transport, evidenced by the extensive Tank Farm near Linwood and the significant rail presence of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Across the river in New Jersey, the U S Military Reservation and sprawling marshlands around Oldmans Creek provide a stark contrast to the developed Pennsylvania shore.
