Maurice-River is a township in Cumberland County that encompasses the communities of Delmont, Heislerville, Leesburg, Dorchester, Bricksboro, Port Elizabeth, Cumberland and part of Milmay. As of the 2000 census, the population of the township was 6,928. The community was named for the river, which was added to the National Wild and Scenic River System in 1993. The Maurice River and its tributaries, the Menantico, Manumuskin and the Muskee meander through Vineland and Buena Vista Townships and increase in size as they reach Millville, Maurice River Township and Commercial Township on their way to the Delaware Bay. Historically the Maurice River has a maritime history centering on oystering and fishing. As part of the Atlantic Flyway, its clean waters and related habitats are very important to the migration of shorebirds, songbirds, waterfowl, raptors and fish. A large population of Bald Eagles nest along the Maurice River. According to the Birding Guide to Cumberland County, many of the areas richest habitats occur in Maurice River Township and are easily accessible by car. Recreational boating and fishing are allowed on the Maurice River, and in addition, the unspoiled woods, meadows, creeks and marshes of Maurice River Township offer opportunities for hiking, biking, camping and canoeing. There are many fine restaurants along the River and lots of interesting historical villages dating back to the 1600 and 1700s. Also of interest is the East Point Light, built in 1849, the last remaining lighthouse on Delaware Bay and the subject of many photographs and paintings.
