About this map

Stow Creek meanders toward Delaware Bay, carving a complex network of tidal guts and meadows that define the border between Salem and Cumberland counties. This landscape is characterized by its significant wetlands, including Locust Meadow and Grandad Meadows, which separate established settlements from the shoreline. The community of Canton serves as a central hub, connected by a series of rural routes such as Silver Lake Rd and Frog Ocean Rd.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and milling history is visible at Woods Upper Mill and Maskells Mill along the northern reaches. The presence of several private airstrips, including Taildragger Acres Airport and Hidden Acres Farm Airport, highlights the modern integration of aviation into this traditional farming landscape. Along the coast, landmarks like Liston Range and the Intracoastal Waterway facilitate navigation through the shifting shoals near Arnold Point.
