About this map

Union Lake dominates the central landscape of this South Jersey survey, fed by the waters of the Maurice River. This mid-century map captures a period of significant urban growth between Vineland and Millville, where the established grid of South Vineland and the industrial corridors of the Reading Seashore Line define the region's economy. The settlement patterns reflect a diverse cultural history, evident in sites like the Ukranian Cem, Hebrew Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem.

Infrastructure for the era's expanding population is well-documented, from the sprawl of the Millville Airport in the south to the State Hospital complex in the north. Numerous schools like the Butler Ave Sch and Bacon Sch are situated throughout the neighborhoods. Further west, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and marshy lands of Deerfield and Pittsgrove, where Mill Creek and Muddy Run meander toward the coastal lowlands.
