2016 Map of Five Points

About this map

Vineland and Millville anchor this coastal plain landscape, where the residential grids of South Jersey meet the dense riparian networks of the Pine Barrens fringe. The map documents a transition from the urbanized streets of East Vineland and the campus of Cumberland County Coll to the more dispersed rural settlements of New Italy and Five Points. This area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Menantico Cr and its various tributaries like Bear Br and Panther Br feeding into significant water bodies such as Menantico Lake and Cumberland Pond. The historical industrial footprint is evident at Bennetts Mill and Leamings Mill, sites that reflect the region's long reliance on water power along these slow-moving branches. Navigation across these wetlands is supported by localized landmarks like Hances Bridge and a network of secondary roads including Co Rd 540 and Menantico Rd.
