1894 Map of Bay Side

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Cohansey Creek defines the maritime character of this 1894 survey, winding through the tidal marshes of Cumberland County where the Southern Branch of N. J. C. R. R. connected the interior to the coast. The shoreline is punctuated by navigation landmarks such as the Cohansey Light Old Light and the Ship John Light out in the Delaware River. Inland, the landscape transition to agriculture and small industry is evidenced by Sheppard Mills and Maskell Mill. Settlements like Greenwich, Shiloh, and Roadstown appear as established hubs, while the coast is dotted with seasonal or specialized sites like Sea Breeze and Laning Wharf. This map details the intricate network of tidal runs and necks, including Bacon Neck and Back Neck, that shaped South Jersey's early river-based economy.
