1953 Map of Newfield

About this map

The Maurice River valley serves as the central axis for this South Jersey survey, where the convergence of Gloucester, Salem, and Cumberland counties defines a landscape of agricultural settlements and riparian corridors. Major water bodies like Willow Grove Lake and Iona Lake anchor the drainage systems of Still Run and Scotland Run. The 1972 revisions highlight the expanding urban footprint of Vineland and Newfield, particularly along the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural nodes of Brotmanville and Alliance, where the Alliance Cem and Friendship Ch provide important genealogical touchstones. The transportation network is dominated by the Harding Highway and numerous secondary roads like Almond Road, reflecting a transition from purely rail-based commerce to a modern highway-centric layout.
