1997 Map of Wilmington South
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Industrial and maritime activity along the Delaware River defines this late-century landscape where the Christina River and Brandywine Creek converge. The Port of Wilmington and its associated Marine Terminal dominate the shoreline, while the massive Delaware Memorial Bridge provides a critical crossing into New Jersey near Deepwater Point. This era shows a densely developed corridor stretching from Wilmington southward through residential enclaves like Minquadale and Holloway Terrace toward the historic community of New Castle. West of the river, the New Castle County Airport anchors a complex network of highways and Conrail rail lines. Across the water, the Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuge offers a sharp contrast, preserving the marshlands of the New Castle Flats as they appeared before extensive regional urbanization.
