1995 Map of Penns Grove

About this map

The Delaware River forms a wide industrial and natural border in this mid-1990s survey, anchoring the development of Penns Grove and the residential clusters of Carneys Point. Inland, the landscape transitions from the suburban grid of South Penns Grove and Glenside to the expansive wetlands of Pine Island Meadow and Kates Creek Meadow. This era shows a community defined by its proximity to both water and major transit, with the New Jersey Turnpike cutting across the terrain near established landmarks like Salem Comm College. Local history is preserved in names like Biddles Landing and Courses Landing along the Salem River, while small rural outposts such as Marshalltown and Slapes Corner dot the southeastern quadrant. The presence of Friendship Station and the Conrail lines reflects the area's long-standing reliance on rail infrastructure for the movement of goods and people.
