1967 Map of Wilmington North

About this map

Brandywine Creek meanders through this landscape, marking a transition from the industrial and residential core of Wilmington to the expansive estates and protected lands of the Brandywine Valley. The late 1960s suburban expansion is evident in the residential clusters of McDaniel Heights and Fairfax, yet much of the northern terrain remains defined by institutional land use. This map documents the cultural legacy of the DuPont family, featuring the Winterthur Museum and Gardens and the Hagley Museum along the riverbanks. Highlighting the era's recreational interests, the Brandywine Raceway and several prominent golf courses, including the DuPont Country Club and Biderman Golf Club, are prominently sited. Researchers will find a mix of older rural nodes like Montchanin and Rockland alongside modern infrastructure like the Hoopes Reservoir.
