2014 Map of Tuckahoe

About this map

The Tuckahoe River serves as a natural boundary and vital artery in this southern New Jersey landscape, winding through the convergence of Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. This modern topographic survey reveals the enduring footprint of historic hamlets and mill sites established along the river's edge, including Marshallville and Tuckahoe. The interior forest and wetlands are drained by numerous named branches and runs, such as Tarkiln Brook and Savages Run, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the Pinelands region. Road networks like RT-49 and RT-50 connect small settlements such as Steelmantown and Oakville, while legacy water features like Warners Mill Pond and Five Acre Pond hint at the area's early industrial history centered on timber and water-powered milling. This record is particularly useful for researchers tracing the evolution of these small South Jersey communities and their relationship with the surrounding tidal and freshwater ecosystems.
