About this map

The Salem County Courthouse stands as the historic anchor of this South Jersey landscape, where the Salem River and its numerous tidal tributaries define the pattern of settlement. Navigable waterways like Alloway Creek and Fenwick Creek have long shaped the region’s agricultural and industrial identity, from the processing at Mannington Mills to the small village of Hancocks Bridge.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the cluster of burial grounds including First Presbyterian Church Cem, East View Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The map highlights the transition from the concentrated urban streets of Salem to the expansive wetlands of Supawna Meadows and Abbots Meadow. Smaller communities such as Welchville, Quinton, and Pointers appear connected by a dense network of early roads, reflecting centuries of continuous development in one of New Jersey's oldest colonial regions.
