2023 Map of Heislerville

About this map

Delaware Bay defines the southern reach of this coastal landscape, where the tidal wetlands of the Cumberland Co and Cape May Co border are intersected by numerous waterways like Dennis Creek and Bidwell Creek. Small settlements such as Leesburg, Delmont, and Heislerville are concentrated in the northern, more elevated sections of the quadrangle. Local history and genealogy are centered around sites like the Heislerville Methodist Church Cem and West Creek Baptist Cem, which sit near the northern edge of the marshlands. Along the bay shoreline, the map identifies remote waterfront areas including Thompsons Beach and Moores Beach, connected to the interior by long, narrow roads such as Thompson Beach Rd. The presence of Pickle Factory Pond and Stipson Island reflects the region's reliance on both its aqueous environment and its small-scale industrial history, while a network of rural routes like N Delsea Dr facilitates travel between these secluded coastal hamlets.
