1890 Map of Bridgeton

About this map

Bridgeton and Millville serve as the primary hubs of industry and commerce in late nineteenth-century southern New Jersey, connected by an extensive network of rail lines including the West Jersey Railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The landscape transitions from the urban grids of Vineland and South Vineland in the northeast to the tidal marshes and intricate waterways of Cumberland County. Along the Maurice River, settlements like Buckshutem and Manantico signify the era's reliance on river-and-rail logistics. To the southwest, the environment shifts toward the coast with The Glades and Dear Swamp dominating the terrain near the Delaware River. Genealogists may find value in tracing the early footprints of small communities like Gouldtown, Carmel, and Fairton, or identifying landings such as Findell's Landing and Newport Landing.
