About this map

The Maurice River corridor defines the landscape of this southern New Jersey survey, anchoring the industrial and residential hub of Millville. At the heart of the region, the expansive Union Lake and its surrounding Union Lake Wildlife Management Area create a significant natural break between the dense urban grid of Vineland to the northeast and the outlying agricultural areas. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional and community landmarks, particularly near the Vineland city line where the State Hospital, Newcomb Hospital, and numerous parochial schools like Sacred Heart Sch are clustered.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the variety of denominational sites, including the Hebrew Cem and Ukranian Ch, reflecting the diverse immigrant heritage of Cumberland County. The transition from the structured streets of South Vineland to the more dispersed settlements of Norma and Carmel illustrates the area's development from concentrated manufacturing centers to rural truck farming communities, all connected by the railroad and historic thoroughfares like Landis Avenue.
