1967 Map of Pitman West

About this map

Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries carve through this Gloucester County landscape, defining the layout of historic crossroads settlements like Mullica Hill and Ewan. The map captures a transition from traditional agricultural and milling sites, such as Wrights Mill and Jessups Mill Pond, to the expanding residential footprints of Pitman and Glassboro. In the southern reaches, the wetlands of Elephant Swamp and Loggerhead Pond remain largely undeveloped, contrasting with the active corridors along Bridgeton Pike and the established campus of Clearview Regional High School. Genealogists may find value in the scattered local landmarks, including Mt Calvary Cem and several community houses of worship like Siloam Ch and Holy Name Ch. The inclusion of an Old Railroad Grade and the Landing Strip reflects the changing transportation infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
