About this map

Philadelphia International Airport sits along the northern edge of this survey, where the Delaware River separates Pennsylvania from the densely settled communities of Gloucester County, New Jersey. This region reflects a complex landscape of tidal waterways and suburban expansion, anchored by the historic center of Woodbury. The winding course of Mantua Creek and its many tributaries, such as Edwards Run and Still Run, dictate the placement of early settlements and modern residential developments alike.

Land use varies from the industrial waterfronts at Billingsport and Paulsboro to the established residential neighborhoods of Woodbury Heights, Oak Valley, and Colonial Manor. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several notable burial grounds and small landmarks, including Eglington Cem, Wenonah Cem, and Peaslees Airstrip. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-defined, showing the path of the New Jersey Tpke and Crown Point Rd as they bypass older locales like Thorofare and Mount Royal.
