1972 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Delaware River corridor and the expansive Pine Barrens dominate this mid-1970s topographic-bathymetric survey, capturing the industrial density of Philadelphia and Wilmington set against the protected wilderness of southern New Jersey. This era shows the heavy transportation infrastructure connecting the Tri-State area, including the New Jersey Turnpike and the Penn Central railroad lines. Along the coast, the map details the intricate waterways of Barnegat Bay and the developed shorelines of Atlantic City and Ocean City, providing a precise look at the bathymetry and shoreline changes just before the modern era of coastal management.
