About this map

The tidal marshes and winding tributaries of the Mullica River define this coastal landscape on the edge of Great Bay. Small riverside settlements like New Gretna, Port Republic, and Chestnut Neck are interconnected by historically significant routes such as Old New York Rd, while the labyrinthine waterways of Nacote Creek, Bass River, and Wading River reveal a complex network of points and islands including Blood Point and Oak Island.

Genealogists can find local burial sites such as the Leek-McKeen Cemetery and Miller Cemetery, reflecting the area's long-standing family ties. The eastern portion of the map shows the transition into more modern development near Mystic Island and Osborne Island, contrasting with the more secluded reaches of Lake Absegami to the north. This survey documents the persistent character of these South Jersey wetlands where upland forests meet the expansive salt marshes.
