1967 Map of Philadelphia

About this map

Fairmount Park and the winding Schuylkill River anchor this mid-century view of the city, revealing a landscape where industrial infrastructure and institutional landmarks sit side-by-side. The map details the dense urban core including Independence National Historical Park and the University of Pennsylvania, while also capturing the sprawling U S Naval Reservation and Mustin Field along the southern waterfront. Transportation networks are prominent, from the heavy rail lines of the Reading and Penn Central to the rising dominance of the Schuylkill Expwy and the massive spans of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
