2016 Map of Brookville

About this map

Oyster Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this coastal plain landscape in Ocean County. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and traditional settlements like Brookville and Wells Mills, where the Wells Mills Reservoir and Mills Pond indicate a long history of water management. The southern portion of the sheet shows the expanding residential footprints of Ocean Acres and Barnegat Estates, contrasting with the more sparse, woodland-dominated interior. Local history is anchored by the Reevestown Cemetery near the junction of County Road 539 and Old Cedar Bridge Road. Numerous family-named branches, such as Cave Cabin Branch and Chamberlain Branch, feed the larger river systems like the Oswego River, reflecting the deeply etched hydrology of the Jersey Pinelands.
