About this map

Great Egg Harbor River flows through the northeast corner of this Atlantic County landscape, where the pine forests are marked by an organized grid of early settlement roads. The community of Dorothy serves as a central hub for the Weymouth area, characterized by a series of numbered avenues like Eleventh Avenue and Sixteenth Avenue that intersect the long diagonal of the Atlantic and Cumberland County line.

Regional history is preserved in the location of several rural houses of worship, including St Johns Ch and Mt Olive Ch near Mizpah, and the Community Ch in the southern reaches. The map captures the transition of the local economy from early industrial sites like Walkers Forge and various scattered Gravel Pit locations to modern conservation efforts within the Peaslee State Wildlife Management Area.
