2023 Map of Wilmington North

About this map

Brandywine Creek carves a winding path through this northern New Castle County landscape, defining the transition from the rolling hills of Pennsylvania into the urban northern reaches of Delaware. The map centers on the historical and industrial legacies of the region, anchored by the expansive Nemours estate and the Du Pont de Nemours Cem. Extensive conservation and history are evident in the First State National Historical Park, which spans the state line between Beaver Valley and Granogue. Moving south toward Wilmington, the land becomes densely suburbanized, marked by numerous named neighborhoods like Windsor Hills and Talleyville. Institutional and religious foundations are prominent throughout, from the Widener University School of Law to several historic burial sites, including the Wilmington and Brandywine Cem and the Newark Union Burial Ground.
