1951 Map of Brookville

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Cranberry Bogs and the labyrinthine waterways of the Pine Barrens dominate this 1951 landscape, centered on the intersection of Lacey, Ocean, and Union townships. Small settlements like Brookville and Howardsville appear as modest clearings in a dense network of branches and creeks, including the North Branch Forked River and Oyster Creek. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes, most notably at Forked River Mtn, and a tradition of local industry evidenced by Wells Mill. Transportation through this marshy interior is facilitated by Bayshore Drive and Whiting Road. The map documents a specific moment in New Jersey's coastal hinterland before significant modern development, where the land was defined by timber, bog iron, and agriculture.
