About this map

The agricultural and industrial transition of southern New Jersey is visible in this post-war survey, centered on the transit hub of Glassboro. The area is defined by a dense network of rail infrastructure, notably the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and the West Jersey and Seashore RR, which linked these rural communities to regional markets. Numerous ponds and mill sites, such as Jessups Mill Pond and Fries Mill, indicate a legacy of water-powered industry integrated into the drainage basins of the Maurice River and Mantua Creek.
