2011 Map of Wilmington North

About this map

Brandywine Creek serves as the central artery for this corridor of the Delaware-Pennsylvania border, where suburban expansion meets long-standing cultural institutions. The landscape is characterized by its large estates and gardens, notably the sprawling grounds of Winterthur Gardens and the nearby Biderman Golf Course. Higher education and regional history are represented by the Widener University Law Center and several significant burial grounds, including the Newark Union Cemetery and Saint Josephs Cemetery. In the northern section, the rail history of the region is anchored at Chadds Ford Junction, while old industrial sites like Tempest Mills and Bullocks Quarry indicate the area's transition from resource extraction and milling to a residential and educational hub. The presence of smaller aviation facilities such as Walnut Green Airport and Delaware Museum Airport highlights a unique layer of local transportation infrastructure serving private and specialized needs.
