About this map

Dividing Creek and the surrounding marshlands of Cumberland County are defined by an intricate network of waterways flowing toward the Delaware Bay. This 2011 survey documents the dense residential development surrounding Laurel Lake, where the Beaver Dam and Laurel Lake Dam manage the local hydrology. The landscape transition from the dry pinelands near Centre Grove to the tidal reaches of the Maurice River is marked by a series of small, historic crossroads and hamlets such as Haleyville, Dragston, and New Italy.

Transport and industry are centered on the river and rail corridors, with Railroad Ave and the Mauricetown Byp serving as primary transit arteries. Notable local landmarks including Ladow Millpond, Clarks Mill, and Lores Mill reflect a long history of water-powered industry in the region. The map also includes the southern extent of the Millville Municipal Airport, illustrating how modern infrastructure sits alongside established rural settlements like Buckshutem and Baileytown.
