About this map

The Maurice River serves as the dominant hydrological feature on this survey, carving through the eastern landscape toward Delaware Bay. The area is defined by its low-lying maritime character, where extensive wetlands like Buckshutem Swamp and Cub Swamp meet tidal influences near Turkey Point. The settlement pattern reflects a long history of water-based industry and milling, evidenced by the presence of Clarks Mill in the north and Lores Mill near the center of the quadrangle.

Coastal communities such as Port Norris and North Port Norris anchor the southeastern corner, while smaller inland hamlets like Dividing Creek, Haleyville, and Dragston are connected by a network of rural roads. These interior points are separated by a complex web of tributaries, including Menantico Creek, Steep Run, and Mill Creek, illustrating the challenges and opportunities of a landscape where land and water are inextricably linked. The map also features notable recreational and utility sites, including Beaver Lake and the Millville Municipal Airport.
