About this map

The Delaware River corridor in Gloucester County serves as the industrial and suburban backbone of this landscape, where the historical site of the Red Bank Battlefield overlooks the water. In the late 1960s, the region shows a dense network of residential growth emerging around established centers like Woodbury, Paulsboro, and Wenonah. The map captures the significant presence of the Conrail lines and the New Jersey Turnpike, which intersect the traditional township boundaries of West Deptford and Mantua.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous parish schools and resting places, such as St Patricks Sch and the extensive Eglington Cemetery. The transition from the tidal flats of Hog Island and Washington Point Neck to the inland gravel pits and golf courses reflects the varied economic uses of the land. Small-scale aviation at Pitman Airport and the complex infrastructure of the Tank Farm near Billingsport illustrate the diverse industrial and transport identity of the Jersey suburbs during this period.
