USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Elmer serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape in this 1950s depiction of Salem County. The town is situated at the junction of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and the Harding Highway, reflecting a transition from rail-dependent transport to early highway development. This era captures the dense network of small rural crossroads and settlements such as Pole Tavern, Shirley, and Palatine before post-war suburbanization significantly altered the character of Upper Pittsgrove and Deerfield.
