USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The confluence of the Schuylkill River and the Delaware River defines the industrial and civic heart of Philadelphia in the years following World War II. The urban landscape is dense with institutional landmarks, from the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel Inst to the imposing State Penitentiary and Girard College. Significant transit infrastructure dominates the waterfronts, including the Pennsylvania RR lines and the massive Benjamin Franklin Bridge connecting to Camden.
