About this map

The York River dominates this coastal landscape, carving out a complex network of bays and landings that define the maritime character of the region. Numerous waterfront access points such as Miller Landing, Red Bank Landing, and Capahosic Landing suggest a deep-rooted reliance on river transport and fishing. To the north, the transition from tidal waters to interior drainage is marked by the sprawling Poropotank River and its associated wetlands, including Woods Mill Swamp and Meadow Swamp.

Small settlements like Plain View, Adner, and Gressitt are connected by narrow roads that wind around natural features like Gressitt Pond and Mount Folly. The map captures the specialized river economy of Gloucester County through landmarks such as Allmonds Wharf and the riverside community of Allmondsville. Local genealogy and land use can be traced through family-named junctions like Christensons Corner and the numerous named landings that dot the shoreline of Purtan Bay and Morris Bay.
