2019 Map of Port Elizabeth

About this map

The Maurice River valley defines this part of South Jersey, where riverfront settlements like Port Elizabeth, Dorchester, and Leesburg have historically relied on the waterway and the nearby glass-sand industry. The map illustrates a landscape of dense wetlands and drainage systems, including Little Mill Creek, Muskee Creek, and the Manumuskin River, which feed into the primary river channel. Small clusters like Bricksboro and Hesstown are connected by a network of rural roads such as Port Elizabeth Cumberland Rd and Hesstown Rd. Evidence of early industry remains visible through sites like Jones Mill and Hoffmans Mill, the latter featuring the significant Hoffmans Mill Pond. The terrain is generally low-lying, with subtle elevations like Muskee Hill rising above the surrounding marshland, while the eastern boundary tracks the transition into Cape May County.
