1967 Map of Marcus Hook

About this map

Marcus Hook and the industrial corridor along the Delaware River define this mid-century portrait of the Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey borderlands. The landscape transitions from the dense urban and shipping infrastructure of Trainer and Linwood to the planned communities of Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft. Extensive rail networks including the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail serve the riverfront refineries and industrial sites, while the interior reveals older institutional landmarks such as the Caleb Pusey Historic Site and Our Lady of Angels College. Across the water in New Jersey, the terrain remains largely agricultural and marshy around Nortonville and Oldmans Creek, providing a sharp contrast to the manufacturing hub of Upper Chichester and Chester.
