1997 Map of Green Bank

About this map

The Mullica River and its labyrinth of tributaries like Negro Creek and Cedar Cr define this pocket of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The landscape is a transition from the dense woodlands of Wharton State Forest to the marshy coastal environment of the Swan Bay State Wildlife Management Area. Historic riverside settlements such as Lower Bank and Sweetwater are juxtaposed with the rigid grid of Egg Harbor City, where streets like Bremen Avenue and Antwerp Ave reflect the community’s German heritage. Genealogists can locate family sites at the Germania Cemetery or the Clarks Mill Burying Ground near Port Republic. The map also captures local landmarks like Snyder Sch, providing a detailed look at the rural and municipal infrastructure of Atlantic and Burlington Counties toward the end of the 20th century.
