2016 Map of Trenton West

About this map

The Delaware River defines the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, cutting a wide path between the industrial heart of Trenton and the sprawling mid-century residential developments of Bucks County. This landscape is a complex mosaic of planned post-war communities like Levittown and Fairless Hills, where many neighborhoods are distinctively named, such as Magnolia Hill, Holly Hill, and Red Cedar Hill. Amidst this modern suburban growth, deep historical roots remain visible through numerous Quaker and family burial sites, including the Fallsington Friends Meeting Cem - Orthodox and the Morris Family Cem. The river itself is punctuated by significant islands like Rotary Island and Biles Island, while the Delaware and Raritan Canal traces the New Jersey bank. This 2016 survey documents how major infrastructure like Interstate 95 and U S Highway 1 has reshaped the movement and settlement patterns of this corridor.
