1967 Map of Woodbury

About this map

The Delaware River frontage defines this Gloucester County landscape, where the historic Red Bank Battlefield sits across the water from Philadelphia International Airport and Hog Island. This mid-century view shows a corridor in transition, balancing the heavy infrastructure of the Tank Farm near Billingsport with established residential centers like Woodbury, Wenonah, and Paulsboro. The map documents the extensive transportation network of the era, from the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295 to the tracks of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines which connected these growing suburbs. Local life is anchored by numerous civic and religious sites, including the County Institution near Clarksboro and several historic burial grounds such as Eglington Cemetery and Loudenslager Cem, providing a detailed look at the region's physical and social evolution.
