About this map

Cassville and the surrounding Pine Barrens landscape appear in this mid-century survey, characterized by extensive Cranberry Bogs and the heavy footprint of state and military lands. The map details the transition from rural settlements to large-scale federal and state management areas, including the northern edges of the Fort Dix Military Reservation and the Lakehurst Naval Air Station. Cultural landmarks like Saint Vladimirs and the Rova Farms Sch highlight the unique local community history in Jackson and Plumsted.

The hydrography of the region is a central feature, with the headwaters of the Toms River and numerous named branches like Ridgeway Branch and Borden Mill Brook feeding into the New Jersey Wildlife and Game Refuge. Local transit and recreation are marked by New Egypt Speedway and historical thoroughfares such as Monmouth Road and Hornerstown Road, while the sprawling Jackson State Forest covers much of the eastern terrain.
