About this map

New Gretna and the expansive wetlands of the Mullica River basin define this coastal landscape on the edge of Great Bay. The 2019 data illustrates a region shaped by intricate waterways like Bass River, Nacote Creek, and Mott Creek, where land and water merge into a complex of named points and thoroughfares. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and historical road corridors, connecting established communities such as Port Republic, Johnsontown, and Leektown.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial grounds, including Hillside Cem, Miller Cem, and the Leek-McKeen Cem near Wading River. The area's maritime identity is underscored by features like the Viking Yacht Acc and the residential development at Mystic Island, while the Garden State Pkwy provides a modern contrast to the winding coastal reaches of Chestnut Neck and Bass River Neck.
