1951 Map of Woodbury

About this map

Woodbury stands as a central hub in this mid-century portrait of Gloucester County, where the industrial waterfront of the Delaware River meets a network of growing suburban and rural settlements. The map highlights a landscape in transition, featuring the Hog Island Shipyard (Abandoned) and the busy Southwest Airport just across the water in Philadelphia. Historical layers are visible along the riverbanks at the Red Bank Battlefield and Fort Mercer, while the interior is defined by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines which connected towns like Westville, Wenonah, and Paulsboro.
