Mauricetown is a small, gridded town consisting of two main roads running east–west and three side streets running north–south, forming about 10 blocks of mostly residential buildings. The settlement is built on high ground overlooking the Maurice River, which supported Mauricetown's economic boom during the 19th century, when the community was active in coastal trade and shipbuilding. Mauricetown proper is surrounded on three sides by the grassy salt marshes, tidal flats, small creeks, and the Maurice River, and is located about 6 miles (9.7 km) upriver from the Delaware Bay.
