About this map

Penns Grove and the industrial riverfront of Carneys Point dominate this 2019 view of the New Jersey-Delaware border. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Delaware River corridor, where the Cherry Island Flats sit just offshore from Helms Cove. Inland, the map reveals a complex web of modern transit routes like Pennsville Auburn Rd intersecting with smaller, historically rooted communities such as Raines Corner, Danceys Corner, and Friendship Station.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Emmanuel Methodist Episcopal Cem and Riverview Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the wetlands and meadows surrounding the Salem River and Haines Neck, where more rural settlements like Marshalltown and Halltown persist. Aviation landmarks like Spitfire Aerodrome and Rainbows End Airport further distinguish this survey, showing the continued modernization of the Delmarva Peninsula's northern edge.
