1953 Map of Moorestown

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The town of Moorestown and its surrounding townships define this mid-century landscape as suburban development began to intersect with the region's agricultural roots. The newly constructed New Jersey Turnpike cuts a diagonal path through the area, contrasting with older transportation routes like the Pennsylvania Railroad and the historic Kings Highway. Institutional landmarks are prominent, including the USDA Research Lab and the Immaculate Conception Novitiate, alongside several local township schools like Township Sch No 7 and Township Sch No 3. In the south, the Cooper River and Cropwell Brook wind through more open terrain near Marlton, where the Marlton-Medford Airfield and the Wiley Mission represent the diverse uses of the land. This era captures the transition of Burlington County from rural crossroads like Evesboro and Fellowship toward more integrated residential communities.
