1949 Map of Woodbury

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the industrial and historical anchor for this portion of Gloucester County, where the transition from riverfront industry to inland suburban development is clearly visible. The map highlights the legacy of coastal defense and early American history at Red Bank Battlefield, located near Fort Mercer, and across the water at Fort Mifflin. A significant industrial landmark is the Hog Island Shipyard (Abandoned) on Hog Island, once a vital shipbuilding hub during World War I, now shown in its post-war state.
