1957 Map of Chatsworth

About this map

The Central RR of New Jersey cuts a diagonal line through this 1957 landscape, anchoring the settlement of Chatsworth and its local landmarks like the Chatsworth Cem and Chatsworth Lake. This area of Burlington County is defined by an extensive network of waterways and wetlands, including numerous cranberry bogs situated along the West Branch Wading River and Pole Bridge Branch. The map reveals the working character of the Pine Barrens during the mid-20th century, where isolated outposts like Pine Crest, Whitehorse, and Johnson Place are linked by sandy tracks and unimproved roads.
