1953 Map of Moorestown

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Moorestown and Maple Shade serve as the primary residential hubs in this mid-century survey of the suburban landscape between the Pennsauken Creek and the Cooper River. The area is defined by a dense network of institutional landmarks, including the USDA Research Lab and several religious estates such as the Immaculate Conception Novitiate and St Marys Home For the Aged. Outside the developed cores, smaller communities like Marlton, Evesboro, and Fellowship dot the landscape near the New Jersey Toll Road Turnpike. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous church properties and burial grounds like Jacobs Chapel, Colestown Cemetery, and Eldridge Cem. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Rockefeller Memorial Highway provide the critical infrastructure connecting these growing townships, while Strawbridge Lake and Mount Laurel offer distinct geographical anchors amidst the expanding residential blocks and local schools like Baker Sch and Sharp Sch.
