About this map

Cedarville and the surrounding marshlands of Fairfield Township are defined by an intricate network of tidal creeks and guts flowing into the Delaware Bay. This modern survey illustrates a landscape where small rural settlements like Fairton and Newport sit just inland from the vast wetlands of The Glades and Bear Swamp. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, including the Old Stone Church Cem at New England Crossroads and the Cedar Hill Cem near Cedar Lake.

The interplay between land and water is evident in the many named waterways such as Nantuxent Creek, Oranoaken Creek, and Padgetts Creek. Along the shoreline, small communities and points like Gandys Beach, Money Island, and Fortescue Neck represent the coastal character of Cumberland County. Local aviation history is also noted with the presence of Dave's Aerodrome situated near the headwaters of Cedar Creek.
