About this map

Mizpah and Gigantic City anchor the northern reaches of this Atlantic County landscape, where an orderly grid of residential streets like Buffalo Ave and Key W Ave meets the irregular wetlands of the Pine Barrens. The territory is defined by its hydrography, notably the Great Egg Harbor River and its various tributaries including Mare Run and S River. Further south, the settlement of Dorothy sits at a crossroads of long-established thoroughfares, while Walkers Forge on the river banks hints at the area's earlier industrial ventures.

The map reveals a transition between concentrated community planning and the expansive natural drainage systems of Stephen Cr and Tuckahoe River. Significant water bodies like Lake Lenape and Maple Lake characterize the eastern half of the quadrangle. This detailed topographic study illustrates the persistence of small settlements like Milmay and Emmelsville amidst the surrounding forests and creek beds, marking the boundary where Atlantic Co meets Cumberland Co.
