About this map

The North Branch Rancocas Creek and its southern counterpart carve through this 1951 landscape, defining a region where early industrial sites and rural settlements sit alongside a growing military presence. Local industry is evidenced by the Brick Kilns near Birmingham, while the southern reaches of the Fort Dix Military Reservation dominate the northeast. This era shows a community infrastructure comprised of the Newcomb Chest Hosp, a County Hospital, and the Oak Grove Ch.

The transportation network is anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad and the John Davison Rockefeller Memorial Highway, which crosses the southern terrain near Burrs Mill. Agricultural activity is prominent, specifically noted by numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered through the lowlands of Southampton and Woodland. Prominent landmarks like Big Hill and the Airfield near South Pemberton provide distinct navigational points for researchers of New Jersey's mid-century geography.
