1949 Map of Woodbury

About this map

The industrial and military heritage of the Delaware River corridor defines this landscape, where the Hog Island Shipyard sits across from the historic fortifications of Fort Mifflin and Fort Mercer. Inland from the riverfront, the city of Woodbury serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of established communities like Thorofare, Mantua, and Sewell. The presence of the Gloucester Co Institution near Clarksboro and multiple local airfields, including Memorial Airport and Pitman Airport, illustrates a post-war landscape in transition between traditional agriculture and growing suburban infrastructure.
