About this map

The Maurice River corridors and the low-lying wetlands of Cumberland County define this landscape, where old mill sites and small settlements are tied to the intricate hydrology of the region. Mauricetown and Haleyville anchor the eastern side of the survey, while the namesake community of Dividing Creek sits further west near Ladow Millpond. The presence of several historic milling locations, including Clarks Mill, Lores Mill, and the Iron Mine Br, points to a long history of water-powered industry and resource extraction in the coastal plain.

Transport patterns are shaped by both the winding creeks and modern aviation, with the Millville Municipal Airport occupying the northern reach. Smaller, distinct locales such as Baileytown, Dragston, and New Italy reflect the varied settlement history of the area. To the south, the terrain transitions into tidal marshes near Turkey Point and North Port Norris, where numerous branches and guts like Cranberry Gut and Sheppards Branch feed into the river system.
