1972 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Camden form a dense urban corridor at the center of this 1970s study, connected by monumental crossings like the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The map details the intricate industrial and maritime landscape of the Delaware River as it opens into Delaware Bay, where bathymetric contours track depth gradients past Brandywine Shoal and Miah Maull Shoal. This regional view captures the high-speed transit era, dominated by the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, while preserving traces of colonial history through sites like Old Swedes Church and Old Drawyers Church.
