2014 Map of Elmer

About this map

Seabrook Farms and the surrounding agricultural landscape define this section of southern New Jersey, where the borders of Salem, Cumberland, and Gloucester counties converge. The borough of Elmer sits as a central hub at the intersection of Us-40, surrounded by a network of historic crossroads settlements such as Pole Tavern, Steels Corner, and Lawrence Corner. The region's hydrography is characterized by the slow-moving waters of Muddy Run and Palatine Br, which feed several local impoundments including Elmer Lake, Palatine Lake, and Centerton Pond. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of rural heritage and local infrastructure, featuring several small airfields like Emmanuel Airport and Coombs Airport, alongside established landmarks like the Chestnut Grove Cem and Monroeville Cem that provide vital touchstones for family historians.
