About this map

Cranberry Bogs define the landscape of the Pine Barrens in this late 20th-century survey, illustrating a sophisticated water-management system centered around the Wading River West Branch and Wading River East Branch. The settlement of Chatsworth serves as the focal point, situated at a junction near the Chatsworth Cem and Chatsworth Lake. To the west, Apple Pie Hill rises as a prominent landmark featuring a Lookout Tower, providing a panoramic vantage point over the Chatsworth Woods.

The map reveals a network of sand roads and isolated outposts such as Johnson Place, Whitehorse, and Friendship, many of which are situated within the protected boundaries of Lebanon State Forest and Wharton State Forest. This area remains a distinct ecological and cultural zone, where the economy is visibly tied to the wetlands, evidenced by the numerous named branches like Skit Branch and Shane Branch that feed the agricultural bogs.
