About this map

The coastal marshlands and small agricultural hamlets of Cumberland County define this mid-century landscape along Delaware Bay. The village of Cedarville serves as a hub, situated where the Central Railroad of New Jersey crosses Sawmill Brook. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its geography, with numerous roads like Newport Neck Rd and Baptist Rd leading toward the intricate network of tidal guts, including Money Island Gut and Blizzard Gut.

Along the shoreline, fishing and recreation outposts such as Gandys Beach and Hollywood Beach sit at the edge of The Glades. Local history is anchored by the Old Stone Church and its associated Old Stone Church Cem, along with several other burial grounds like Cedar Hill Cem. To the east, the extensive Bear Swamp and the State Hunting and Fishing Grounds reflect a terrain largely dedicated to conservation and seasonal maritime pursuits.
