1953 Map of Elmer

About this map

Agricultural fields and interconnected waterways define this 1950s landscape across the intersection of Salem, Gloucester, and Cumberland counties. The borough of Elmer serves as a central hub, situated along the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and marked by the Community Hospital and Elmer Lake. To the south, the industrial and residential footprint of Seabrook and West Village stands out near the Child Care Center, reflecting the area's mid-century development. Moving toward the boundaries, smaller settlements such as Pole Tavern, Centerton, and Deerfield Street anchor the rural crossroads.
