About this map

The suburban and academic landscape of Glassboro and Pitman is defined by institutional growth and the lingering industrial patterns of the mid-20th century. Glassboro State College dominates the western portion of the map, while the surrounding area shows the intricate road network connecting Clayton and Cross Keys. The presence of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines highlights the historical transit corridors that shaped these Gloucester County communities.

Rural industry and local landmarks remain visible, including the Fries Mill site along Scotland Run and numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the township lines. Regional connectivity is illustrated by the intersection of the Atlantic City Expressway and Black Horse Pike near the Camden County border. Smaller settlements like Janvier and Downer are interspersed with several country churches, such as St Johns Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside local cemeteries that provide essential data for genealogical research.
