1966 Map of Hammonton

About this map

The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines define the transportation corridor of this Pine Barrens region, linking the township of Hammonton with outlying settlements like Chesilhurst and Winslow. The landscape is characterized by the expansive Wharton State Forest and complex drainage systems including Great Swamp Branch and Blue Anchor Brook. This mid-century survey captures the area as the Atlantic City Expressway began to reshape local transit alongside traditional routes like the Old White Horse Pike. Notable institutional landmarks, such as the Ancora State Hospital, occupy significant acreage amidst the dense network of named branches and creeks. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites documented, including Waterford Cem and Oak Grove Cem, while local historians can trace the footprints of early industry at the Gravel Pit or recreation at Hammonton Lake Park.
