1894 Map of Cassville

About this map

Jackson Mills and Cassville serve as central nodes in this late nineteenth-century survey of the Pine Barrens interior. The landscape is defined by its early industrial milling economy, with water-powered sites like Blacks Mills, Francis Mills, and Collier Mills distributed along the intricate network of brooks and branches feeding the Metedeconk River. The arrival of the New Jersey Southern Railroad in the southeast corner near Manchester signaled a shift toward modern transport, yet much of the area remained characterized by large landholdings such as the Lahaway Plantations. Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of family-named settlements including Vanhiseville, Davisville, and Perrineville, alongside specific local landmarks like Butterfly Bridge and The High Bridge. This map captures the region when the transition from colonial-era milling to rail-based industry was still unfolding across the Monmouth and Ocean County border.
