About this map

Alloway and its surrounding countryside reflect a landscape deeply tied to the milling and water history of the region. Numerous named mill sites, such as Foxs Mill, Ballingers Mill, and Cobbs Mill, are positioned along a complex network of tributaries including Alloway Creek, Cedar Brook, and Cool Run. These water-powered sites once anchored small rural settlements like Slabtown, Yorktown, and Friesburg, which remain visible today through their local road networks and community landmarks.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds including Mount Zion Cem and Alloway Baptist Cem, alongside the Aldine United Methodist Cem in the hamlet of Aldine. The topography is generally low-lying with notable exceptions like Big Mannington Hill rising in the northwest. In the south, the Cohansey River marks the transition into Cumberland County, while aviation history is represented by the centrally located Alloway Airfield.
