About this map

Brown Mills serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the waters of Mirror Lake and the North Branch Rancocas Creek define the local geography. The map captures an area deeply tied to early New Jersey industry, notably marking the sites of Hanover Furnace and Mary Ann Furnace. These locations, along with settlements like Upper Mill and Lower Mill, speak to the historical reliance on local waterways for power and production.

The landscape is a complex network of streams and ponds, including Country Lake, Lebanon Lake, and the winding Greenwood Branch. To the east, the settlement of Whitesbog stands as a reminder of the region's agricultural heritage. Transportation patterns are clearly visible, from the modern intersection at Four Mile Circle to the rail corridor passing through Browns Mills Junction. Notable landmarks such as Treasure Island and Soldiers Island sit within the residential grid of Brown Mills, illustrating how the community has integrated with its natural aquatic features.
