1951 Map of New Gretna

About this map

The tidal marshes and pine forests of the New Jersey coast are documented here during a period of significant infrastructure expansion. The Garden State Parkway is shown under construction, carving a new path through the landscape across the Mullica River and Nacote Creek. This modern arterial contrasts with the established local settlements of New Gretna and Port Republic, where traditional land use is represented by several Cranberry Bogs and small family burial grounds like the Hillside Cem and Miller Cem.
