1894 Map of Dennisville

About this map

Dennisville and the surrounding tide-influenced landscape of Cape May County are documented here in a detailed late nineteenth-century survey. The geography is defined by a dense network of waterways like Dennis Creek and Sluice Creek that feed into the Delaware Bay, alongside massive wetland reaches such as Great Cedar Swamp and Timber and Beaver Swamp. This era shows the peninsula as a region of maritime landings and burgeoning railroad connections, with the West Jersey Railroad and the Five Mile Beach Branch linking inland settlements like Rio Grande and Goshen to coastal points.
