1953 Map of Atsion

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Atsion and the surrounding Pine Barrens are defined by an intricate network of waterways and the specialized agriculture of the mid-20th century. The landscape is dominated by the Batsto River and the Mullica River, which supported early industries at Batsto and Pleasant Mills. Numerous Cranberry Bogs are scattered throughout the lowlands, particularly along the Sleeper Branch, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on peatland cultivation. Further south, the settlements of Nesco and Wescoatville appear alongside more traditional infrastructure such as the Nesco Sch. The presence of landmarks like Quaker Bridge and Lower Forge hints at the historic iron-making and transit routes that once connected these wilderness outposts. This detailed survey preserves the spatial layout of the Great Swamp and its conversion into productive berry lands before modern preservation efforts took hold.
