1959 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Camden anchor this 1959 regional survey, showcasing the dense urban industrial core of the Delaware Valley at the height of the mid-century era. The map traces the critical transportation corridors that fueled the region's postwar growth, including the newly established N J Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. These modern arteries contrast with the established rail network of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading Seashore Line, which provided vital links to the coastal resorts of Barnegat Bay.
