1956 Map of Five Points

About this map

The sprawling grounds of the Vineland State School and the Manantico Colony anchor the northwestern portion of this mid-century survey, illustrating the institutional footprint in Cumberland County. A transition from the industrial and civic hubs of Vineland and Millville leads into a landscape of agricultural settlements like New Italy and East Vineland. The eastern half is defined by the winding course of the Maurice River and the Manumuskin River, where the terrain is marked by numerous Gravel Pits and older industrial sites like Bennetts Mill. Transportation networks are well-defined by the Central RR of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, which supported the region's movement of goods and people between these rural communities and the larger urban centers of South Jersey.
