1956 Map of Green Bank

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Mullica River and its labyrinthine tributaries define this South Jersey landscape, where the tides reach deep into the Green Bank State Forest. This mid-century survey documents the transition from the dense pine barrens of the Wharton Tract to the organized street grids of Germania and Cologne. The map reveals a cluster of settlements along the river's winding course, including Sweetwater, Herman, and Lower Bank, many of which were historically tied to the water and forest resources. In the southwest, the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines cuts through the area, linking the agrarian and residential expansions of Egg Harbor City and Vienna Gardens to the wider region. Local history is etched into the terrain through numerous burial sites, from the Clarks Landing Cem near the riverbanks to the inland Clarks Mill Burying Ground and Boling Cem.
