About this map

Industrial development and dense suburban expansion define the riverfront corridor between southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware in the late 1960s. The Delaware River serves as the primary artery for the region, bordered by extensive infrastructure including massive Tank Farm clusters, Industrial Waste Ponds, and a sprawling Sewage Disposal plant. The landscape is deeply etched by the transportation networks of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which facilitated the growth of historic communities like Marcus Hook and Trainer.
