1966 Map of Wilmington

About this map

The Delaware River corridor serves as the industrial and urban backbone of this mid-century landscape, anchoring the major metropolitan hubs of Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Camden. While the northern and western sections show dense development and a complex network of rail lines like the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad, the southern and coastal reaches remain remarkably open. Immense protected areas like the Wharton State Forest and Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge define the character of the Pine Barrens and the wetlands along Delaware Bay.
