2016 Map of Canton

About this map

Delaware Bay and the tidal wetlands of southwestern New Jersey dominate this coastal landscape, where the Delaware River meets a complex network of marshes and inlets. Small inland settlements such as Canton and Harmersville serve as hubs for a region defined by its relationship with the water, particularly along the winding course of Stow Creek. The persistence of agricultural and maritime heritage is evident in place names like Bacons Neck and Stathems Neck, as well as the historic milling sites of Maskells Mill and Woods Upper Mill.
