Cinnaminson-area property map (1876)

Research value and limits

The only extractable information is the image’s descriptive label: “Cinnaminson Bridgeboro Fairview Riverside NJ 1876 Maps Homeowners Names Shown.” The map itself yielded no readable owner names, roads, publisher, plate number, atlas title, scale, or repository citation in the supplied source transcription. The incomplete notebook image does not support individual ownership claims. The readable atlas sheet located during further research is discussed below.

A readable 1876 plate

The Historical Society of Riverton identifies and reproduces the Cinnaminson sheet from J. D. Scott’s Combination Atlas Map of Burlington County, New Jersey (1876). The inspected image carries plate number 36 and a scale of two inches to the mile. It includes a separate Fairview inset. This establishes a useful original atlas source, although the notebook’s commercial reproduction may combine more than one sheet. Historical Society map collection; full Cinnaminson plate.

The plate shows the Delaware River along one boundary and the railroad linking Palmyra, Riverton, Cambridge and Riverside. Farther inland are Westfield, New Albany and Bridgeborough, with farms, schools and streams labeled between them. Its Cinnaminson footprint therefore should not be read as the modern township boundary. The sheet can guide deed searches and comparisons of road alignments, but a printed name is not a substitute for a title record and does not establish every household member.
