1899 Map of Vineland

About this map

The maritime and agricultural rhythm of South Jersey is on full display in the late nineteenth century, where the Cohansey River and Maurice River define the commercial landscape. Extensive coastal wetlands like The Glades and various necks of land, such as Bacons Neck and Sayres Neck, show a terrain deeply integrated with the water. The regional economy is anchored by established centers like Bridgeton and Millville, while the southern reaches reveal the specialized oyster and fishing hubs of Port Norris and Bivalve.
