About this map

Camden and its northern surroundings appear here during the late 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by industrial water features and suburban growth. The presence of several significant impoundments, including Vaughns Mill Pond, Adams Mill Pond, and Hermitage Mill Pond, points to the region's historic reliance on water power and mill sites along the Big Pine Tree Creek and Little Pine Tree Creek systems. These drainages converge toward the city, where newer developments like Du Bose Park sit near the urban edge.

Agricultural and aviation history is represented by Woodward Field and the surrounding rural communities of Shamokin, Shepard, and Kirkland. The eastern portion of the map highlights N R Goodale State Park, where the transition from managed forest to protected wetlands begins. Several small cemeteries, marked simply as Cem, are tucked into the drainages of Gum Swamp Creek and Sanders Creek, providing potential leads for local genealogical research into the area's older rural settlements.
