2016 Map of Columbus

About this map

Mansfield Square and Columbus anchor this portrait of the central New Jersey agricultural landscape as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The region is defined by its intricate drainage network, including the branching headwaters of Assiscunk Creek, Barkers Brook, and Annaricken Brook. This topography supported centuries of farming, evident in the numerous small settlements like Jobstown, Georgetown, and Juliustown that dot the map at historic road intersections. Significant landmarks include the prominent elevation of Arneys Mount and Mt Pisgah, alongside more contemporary installations like the Redwing Airport and the northern edge of Fort Dix. Historical local infrastructure is preserved in labels for the Columbus Cem and Wallace Mill, illustrating the evolution of Burlington County from its early milling and milling centers to a modern landscape intersected by the New Jersey Tpke.
