2014 Map of Brookville

About this map

Wells Mills and Brookville sit at the heart of this landscape, where the coastal plain of Ocean County is defined by a complex network of freshwater branches and creeks. The drainage patterns of the Oswego River and Oyster Cr dominate the southern half of the map, while Forked River Mtn rises as a notable landform to the north. These natural features are interspersed with small, historically established settlements like Howardsville and Warren Grove, which are connected by old transportation routes such as Old Cedar Bridge Barnegat Rd. Local genealogy and land use history are anchored by sites like Reevestown Cem and the Mill Pond, illustrating how early residents utilized the area's numerous waterways, including Cave Cabin Br and Long Br, for industry and survival in the Pine Barrens environment.
