About this map

Cassville sits at a crossroads in the New Jersey Pinelands just after the war, surrounded by the specialized agricultural and military landscape of mid-century Ocean County. The area is defined by an extensive network of Cranberry bogs and the headwaters of the Toms River, illustrating the importance of wetland cultivation to the local economy. Religious life is anchored by St Vladimirs church near the northern edge of Jackson State Forest.

Significant portions of the landscape are dedicated to federal and state use, including the southern expansion of the Fort Dix Military Reservation and the U. S. Naval Air Station Military Reservation. Traces of older transport routes are visible in the form of a Dismantled Railroad cutting through the western section near Archers Corner. The map also captures the New Jersey Wild Life and Game Refuge nestled among the winding tributaries of Shannoc Brook and Jumping Brook.
