1947 Map of Trenton East

About this map

The Delaware River defines the western edge of this post-war landscape, where industrial Trenton gives way to emerging residential developments. Following the Pennsylvania Railroad corridor, the map captures a transition from urban centers to pockets like Warner Village and DeCou Village. Significant institutional footprints are visible, including the Donnelly Memorial Hospitals and the Pennsylvania Maritime Academy situated near Sucker Point. The map also details a network of cemeteries and parks, such as St Marys Cemetery and Chewalla Park, illustrating the social infrastructure supporting these growing New Jersey communities.
