1898 Map of Mount Holly

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Rancocas Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the settlement patterns of this late 19th-century landscape in Burlington and Camden Counties. The map reveals a transition from the industrial and milling centers of Union Mills and Smithville to the sprawling agricultural and bog lands of the south. This era shows the peak of the rail-to-river economy, where the Pennsylvania Railroad Hartford Amboy Division and the West Jersey and Seashore RR interconnected established villages like Moorestown, Medford, and Marlton. To the southeast, the landscape opens into the Bear Swamp and the West Jersey Cranberry Meadow Branch, reflecting the region's specialized cranberry and timber economies. The inclusion of small hamlets such as Eayrestown, Fostertown, and Cropwell provides a high-resolution look at rural New Jersey before the expansion of the modern Philadelphia suburbs.
