1956 Map of Green Bank

About this map

The Mullica River and its labyrinth of tributaries, including Landing Creek and Teal Creek, dominate this mid-century landscape where Atlantic and Burlington counties meet. Extensive tracts of the Green Bank State Forest and the Wharton Tract suggest a region heavily managed for conservation and timber, while local industry is evidenced by a Cranberry Bog and several gravel pits near Port Republic. The layout of Egg Harbor City and Germania reveals a distinct grid of streets named after European cities, such as Bremen Avenue and Vienna Street, a testament to the planned settlement history of this Pine Barrens region.
