About this map

Glassboro State College anchors the western portion of this 1966 survey, serving as a focal point for the growing residential districts of Glassboro. The landscape is a mix of dense suburban development and significant natural preserves, most notably the expansive Glassboro Wildlife Management Area that occupies the central woodland. To the north, the communities of Pitman and Washington show established neighborhoods surrounding water bodies like Bells Lake and Kandle Lake.

Industrial and transport history is visible through the Conrail rail lines and various Gravel Pits scattered across the township. Further east, smaller settlements like Cross Keys and Downer maintain a more rural character, connected by routes like U.S. 322. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous landmarks, including the Hill Crest Memorial Park and several country churches such as St Johns Ch and Ebenezer Ch, which reflect the community's spiritual and social foundations during the mid-20th century.
