About this map

The Delaware River corridor and the expansive South Jersey landscape are documented here during a period of post-war infrastructure growth. Centered on the industrial hubs of Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Camden, the map reveals a complex transportation network where the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad intersect with emerging modern thoroughfares like the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
