1953 Map of Atsion

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cranberry Bogs dominate the low-lying wet topography of this Pine Barrens landscape, illustrating a specialized agricultural economy concentrated along the Sleeper Branch and Nescochague Creek. The Central RR of New Jersey cuts through the northwest corner at Atsion, where it intersects New Jersey Road, while the southern reaches of the sheet reveal small rural clusters like Nesco and Wescoatville. Historical industry is evident at Pleasant Mills and the isolated Lower Forge, points where the Batsto River and Mullica River provided the necessary water power for early iron and milling operations. The presence of the Nesco Sch and several cemeteries provide critical touchpoints for family historians tracing residents in these townships. Much of the interior remains undeveloped, defined by the Great Swamp and the Batsto area, where a Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the dense pine forests.
