1953 Map of Pitman West

About this map

Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries, including Edwards Run and Clems Run, define the agricultural and residential landscape of this Gloucester County region in the early 1950s. The map illustrates a network of small settlements such as Richwood, Ewan, and Aura linked by rural roads and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines railroad, which skirts the eastern edge through Glassboro. This era shows the transition of the land from intensive milling and farming to suburban expansion around Pitman.
