About this map

Oyster Creek and the Oswego River define this stretch of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where historic water-powered industry sites have evolved into modern conservation areas. In the center of the sheet, Brookville sits near the Mill Pond, reflecting a legacy of milling that once characterized these coastal plains. Further east, the Wells Mills Reservoir and the surrounding Wells Mills area show the transition from resource-extraction landscapes to recreational use.

Modern residential development is concentrated in the southeast corner near Ocean Acres and Barnegat Estates, contrasting with the interior's network of unpaved tracks and forest roads like Pancoast Rd and Jones Rd. Local history is anchored by the Reevestown Cem and small settlements like Howardsville and Warren Grove. The terrain is generally low-lying, though Forked River Mtn provides a rare point of elevation amidst the numerous wetlands and branches, including the Chamberlain Branch and Factory Branch.
