1953 Map of Newtonville

About this map

The Great Egg Harbor River meanders through this portion of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, defining the landscape around the settlements of Folsom, Newtonville, and Penny Pot. This 1953 survey, updated with 1972 revisions, illustrates the agricultural and transit patterns of Atlantic County, featuring numerous Cranberry Bog operations and extensive Gravel Pits that supported local industry. Religious and social centers like St James Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Mt Zion Ch are clearly marked, alongside the Newtonville Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research. The transit network is dominated by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and the emerging path of the Atlantic City Expressway, which intersects the older Black Horse Pike. Toward the southeast, the historic area of Weymouth sits near the Little Mill River, where the terrain transitions toward the coastal wetlands.
