2019 Map of Wilmington South

About this map

Wilmington and the industrial riverfront of New Castle County are captured here just before the end of the decade, showing the dense network of suburban developments and the shipping lanes of the Delaware River. The urban core is flanked by numerous historic burial sites, including the extensive Gracelawn Memorial Park and the specialized Potters Field Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in the area. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Delaware Memorial Bridges and the New Castle County Airport, while pockets of preserved land like the First State National Historical Park and Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge across the river in New Jersey provide a contrast to the heavy industry of Deepwater Point. This map traces the transition from the old rail crossroads at Landenberg Junction to the modern logistics hubs that dominate the tidal flats today.
