2019 Map of New Egypt

About this map

McGuire AFB and the expansive northern grounds of Fort Dix dominate the southern half of this landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint in this part of New Jersey. The surrounding terrain is a mixture of small settlements and wetlands, where the Brigadier General William C Doyle Veterans Memorial Cem sits near Arneytown at the Monmouth County border. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Lahaway Creek and Crosswicks Creek carving through the northern reaches, while the south is marked by specialized features like Amphibious Lake. Older villages like Jacobstown and New Egypt maintain their traditional footprints amidst a modernizing road network, including the McGuire Access Hwy. From the academic grounds of Wilmington University to the elevations of Taylors Mtn, the map captures the transition from active military installations to the quiet cranberry bogs and streams of the rural interior.
