1955 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Philadelphia and Wilmington anchor this mid-century portrait of the Delaware Valley, showing a region defined by its industrial riverfronts and emerging modern transportation networks. The Delaware River serves as the central artery, flanked by rail infrastructure including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading Railway System. At this date, the landscape reflects the rapid postwar growth of the South Jersey suburbs, with the recently completed New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway cutting through the coastal plains toward the shore.
