1954 Map of Wilmington North

About this map

Brandywine Creek carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the numerous Du Pont family estates and industrial research facilities that define northern New Castle County. The map reveals the sophisticated infrastructure of the era, from the Du Pont Experimental Station near Rockland to the sprawling Winterthur Museum and Gardens and the Du Pont Airport. The transition from the rural hills of Chadds Ford and Cossart in Pennsylvania to the intensifying suburban development of Wilmington is clearly visible.
