1947 Map of Adelphia

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Cranberry bogs dot the lowlands of central New Jersey in this mid-century survey, illustrating a specialized agricultural landscape defined by the Manasquan River and the headwaters of the North Branch Metedeconk River. The boundary between Monmouth County and Ocean County cuts through a region characterized by small rural settlements and scattered industry. Local economic life is marked by the presence of a lumber mill near Smithburg and a quarry further south, while the Pennsylvania railroad line serves the northern reaches near Freehold. The map documents a network of named mills, such as Wyckoff Mills and Oakland Mills, many situated near the interlacing branches of the South Branch Metedeconk River. This topography reveals the transition from early industrial water-power sites to an era of expanded road networks, with hamlets like Adelphia and Jacksons Mills serving as local hubs.
