About this map

Wharton State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Pine Barrens landscape, where numerous tributaries like Sleeper Branch and Clark Branch cut through the sandy terrain. The map captures the significant rail infrastructure at Winslow Junction, a historic nexus for regional transportation, alongside the expansive grounds of the Ancora State Hospital. Settlement patterns follow the historic corridors of the White Horse Pike and the newer Atlantic City Expressway, connecting towns such as Waterford Works and Chesilhurst to the regional hub of Hammonton.

Local civic and agricultural life is visible through features like the Bates Mill Sch, the Hammonton Municipal Airport, and several scattered burying grounds, including Oak Grove Cem and Holy Sepulcher Cem. The transition from the dense street grid of Hammonton to the protected lands of the Winslow Wildlife Management Area illustrates the balance between mid-century suburban growth and the preservation of New Jersey's unique wilderness.
