About this map

Red Bank Battlefield anchors the northern shore of the Delaware River, marking a landscape where the industrial expansion of West Deptford meets historical preservation. The late 1960s suburban growth is evident in the dense residential blocks of Woodbury, Oak Valley, and Woodbury Heights, while the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines cuts a diagonal path through the county, connecting established settlements like Wenonah and Sewell to the riverfront activity near Paulsboro.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of community landmarks, including the County Institution and Underwood Hospital, alongside numerous spiritual and educational centers such as St Patricks Sch and Zion Ch. The transition from riverfront marshlands to upland development is traced through features like Hessian Run, Mantua Creek, and the many cemeteries—such as Eglington Cemetery and Gates of Heaven Memorial Park—that serve as enduring records of the area's population.
