1951 Map of West Creek

About this map

Cranberry Bogs dot the lowlands of Ocean County in this mid-century survey, illustrating the specialized agricultural landscape along the New Jersey shore. The intersection of local industry and modern transportation is evident as the Garden State Parkway cuts through the State Forest and near settlements like Stafford Forge and Staffordville. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of West Creek is situated near the winding Westecunk Creek, while the northern area is anchored by the village of Manahawkin and its namesake Manahawkin Lake. Along the coast, the Staffordville Public Landing provides access to Channel Cove, reflecting the enduring maritime character of the region. Local landmarks such as the Township Sch and Cedar Run Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Eagleswood and Stafford townships.
