About this map

The Cohansey River winds through this Cumberland County landscape, anchoring the city of Bridgeton and its surrounding agricultural and residential communities. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Fairton sits near Mill Creek and the Old Presbyterian Cemetery, while the northern area is defined by a network of smaller hamlets including Big Oak, Orchard Center, and Finley. The topography is marked by numerous water bodies like Sunset Lake, East Lake, and Clarks Pond, alongside smaller tributaries such as Rocaps Run and Indian Fields Branch.

Infrastructure and industry are evident through Bridgeton Junction and the small airfield at Bucks Airport. The map also details established rural communities like Rosenhayn, Woodruff, and Gouldtown, showing a well-developed road system connecting these historical pockets. Local history researchers can identify specific family-named landmarks and old cemeteries, such as Laurel Lawn Cemetery, which provide clues to the region's late-20th-century development and land use patterns.
