2014 Map of Canton

About this map

Stow Creek carves a winding path along the boundary between Salem and Cumberland Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by tidewater marshes and agricultural tracts. This coastal region transitions from the waters of the Delaware Bay and Delaware River into a network of intricately named waterways like Mad Horse Creek, Terrapin Gut, and Malapartis Creek. The map documents the persistent layout of colonial-era settlements and landings, including Stow Creek Landing and the rural crossroads of Harmersville and Canton.
