2016 Map of Atsion

About this map

The Mullica River and its intricate tributaries dominate this corner of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, carving through the Great Swamp and sustaining a series of historic settlements. Atsion sits at the northern edge, where Atsion Rd meets the waters of Atsion Lake, while the southern reaches center on the significant industrial and social nexus of Batsto and Pleasant Mills. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, including the Batsto River and Nescochague Creek, which feed into Batsto Lake and Nescochague Lake. Extensive trails like the Batona Trl and Penn Branch Trail thread through the dense terrain, connecting remote locations such as Lower Forge and Quaker Bridge. These paths reflect a long history of travel through the wetlands, linking rural hamlets like Nesco, Dutchtown, and Wescoatville.
