1956 Map of Tuckahoe

About this map

Tuckahoe and its surrounding marshlands are defined by the convergence of the Tuckahoe River and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to conservation and small-scale industry, with the Belleplain State Forest and the Tuckahoe State Fishing and Hunting Grounds occupying large tracts of the southern and eastern territory. Settled areas like Steelmantown and Marshallville follow the winding paths of inland waterways, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered Cranberry Bogs near Belleplain hints at the local economy's reliance on natural resources.
