About this map

Red Bank Battlefield County Park anchors the riverfront where the Delaware River separates New Jersey from Philadelphia. This mid-1990s landscape is defined by the dense suburban growth of Woodbury, Westville, and Paulsboro, interlaced with a complex transportation network including the New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 295, and the Conrail rail lines. The map reveals the industrial character of the shoreline, marked by a massive Tank Farm near Billingsport, while inland areas like Mantua and Sewell maintain distinct residential identities.

Genealogists and local historians can trace significant community landmarks, from the County Institution to numerous burial grounds such as Eglington Cemetery and Wenonah Cemetery. The transition from the tidal flats of Hog Island to the higher ground of Mount Royal illustrates the varied topography of Gloucester County. Educational centers like West Deptford High School and Gateway Regional High School serve as primary anchors within the established neighborhoods of Deptford and East Greenwich.
