1953 Map of Pitman West

About this map

Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries, including Edwards Run and Miery Run, weave through this rural Gloucester County landscape. The settlement of Mullica Hill serves as a northern anchor, characterized by landmarks like St Stephens Ch and the Mullica Hill Pond. To the east, the edge of Pitman and Glassboro shows early mid-century growth along the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. Smaller community hubs like Richwood, featuring the Richwood Academy, and the milling sites of Wrights Mill and Jessups Mill reflect an economy tied to both local water power and regional transport. The presence of crossroads like Pine Tavern and Whiglane highlights the historic road network that connected these agricultural townships.
