Area 18 SubAreas

For the purpose of focusing on local issues and local solutions within the larger watershed context, Area 18 is divided into three SubAreas:

• The upper SubArea is more fully developed and includes the Swede's Run, Pompeston Creek, Pennsauken Creek, Cooper River and Newton Creek watersheds in Burlington and Camden counties.
• The middle SubArea is undergoing active development and encompasses the Big Timber Creek, Woodbury Creek and Mantua Creek watersheds in Camden and Gloucester counties.
• The lower SubArea is still mostly rural and includes the Repaupo, Raccoon and Oldmans Creek watersheds, in Gloucester and Salem counties.
