1953 Map of Clementon

About this map

The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines define the transit corridor of Camden County, linking together a chain of communities from Gibbsboro and Lindenwold down to Berlin and Atco. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of transition where early industrial sites like Tomlinson Mill and various Cranberry Bogs coexist with growing suburban hubs and local infrastructure like the Echelon Airport and Clementon Airport. The map traces the headwaters of several critical New Jersey waterways, including the North Br Cooper River, the Mullica River, and the Great Egg Harbor River. Cultural landmarks such as the Pine Hill Boy Scout Camp, Trinity Ch, and several rural schoolhouses like the Watsontown Sch provide essential geographic markers for genealogists. The road network is anchored by the White Horse Pike, illustrating the area's development before the full expansion of the modern highway system.
