1948 Map of Wilmington South
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Wilmington serves as the industrial and residential anchor of this late 1940s landscape, where dense urban blocks give way to a sprawling network of suburban developments. Settlements like Richardson Park, Elmhurst, and Boxwood illustrate the era's rapid growth along the Christina River and Little Mill Creek. The region is a vital transportation corridor, dominated by the Pennsylvania RR and the Reading RR, which serve the marine terminals and chemical works concentrated along the riverbanks.
