1948 Map of Wilmington South
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The industrial and maritime activity of Wilmington and its southern suburbs is detailed in this mid-century survey, conducted just as the Delaware Memorial Bridge was being integrated into the landscape. Along the Christina River, the complex infrastructure of the Marine Terminal and the Du Pont Dye and Chemical Works reflects the heavy industrial focus of the era. To the west, burgeoning residential developments like Brookland Terrace, Lancaster Village, and Colonial Heights signify the post-war suburban expansion around Elsmere and Newport.
