About this map

Big Timber Creek and its various branches, including the South Branch Big Timber Creek, carve through this section of southern New Jersey, defining the boundaries between Camden Co and Gloucester Co. The landscape is a dense network of suburban development and civic infrastructure, characterized by numerous schools and parochial institutions such as Annunciation Sch and Triton Regional High Sch. The region shows significant post-war expansion, with residential clusters at Runnemede, Blackwood, and Stratford connected by major transportation arteries like the New Jersey Turnpike and the Atlantic City Expressway.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, from the New St Marys Cemetery in the north to the Lakeland Cem near the Camden County Home. Faded infrastructure like the Lawnside Sta and the Landing Strip near Gravelly Run provide evidence of changing transit patterns. The map also highlights the transition from natural waterways to managed recreation, visible at Almonesson Lake and Bells Lake.
