The western edges of Bridgeton meet the agricultural heart of Cumberland County in this 2016 survey, where the Cohansey River winds through the Green Swamp toward the Delaware Bay. The landscape is defined by its long-standing milling history and rural crossroads, with old sites like Mickles Mill and Sheppards Mill appearing alongside established settlements such as Shiloh and Roadstown. Significant water bodies including Mary Elmer Lake, Elk Lake, and Sheppards Millpond illustrate the drainage patterns that once powered local industry. Aviation has also left its mark on these fields, evidenced by the Wide Sky Airpark and B J Farms Airport. For those tracing local roots, several major burial grounds are documented, including Fernwood Cem, Cedar Hill Cem, and Overlook Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of these historic communities, from the residential streets of Bridgeton to the outlying houses at Bacons Neck and Jericho.
