1951 Map of West Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Cranberry Bogs and extensive wetlands dominate the landscape between the coastal settlements and the interior pine barrens at the start of the 1950s. This survey records a critical moment in the region's modernization as the Garden State Parkway is shown under construction, cutting a diagonal swath through the Bass River State Forest. While the new highway signaled a shift toward increased accessibility, the established local economy is still visible through landmarks like Stafford Forge and the numerous named bogs. Coastal life centers around established villages such as Manahawkin and West Creek, with recreational and utilitarian sites like the Lakeside Speedway and Staffordville Public Landing providing insight into mid-century community focal points. Genealogists will find value in the placement of the Township Sch and the Cedar Run Cem, which anchor the small hamlets of Mayetta and Staffordville.
