1997 Map of Browns Mills

About this map

Whitesbog and the surrounding pine barrens of Burlington County define this landscape, where a legacy of cranberry cultivation is visible through numerous Cranberry Bogs and specialized water management systems. The community of Browns Mills serves as a hub near the North Branch Rancocas Creek, sitting at the edge of the Fort Dix Military Reservation. This region, documented with data compiled in 1947 and updated via 1997 imagery, shows the established medical presence of the Deborah Sanatorium and the extensive acreage of the Lebanon State Forest. Industrial and agricultural history is etched into the terrain at Hanover Furnace and the small settlements of Mount Misery and Upton. The map preserves the locations of early rural infrastructure, including the Laurel Hill Sch and the rail-oriented Browns Mills Junction, alongside residential expansions like Presidential Lakes.
