About this map

Cranberry Bogs dominate this segment of the Pine Barrens, illustrating a landscape defined by intensive wetland agriculture during the mid-20th century. The intricate network of reservoirs and bogs is concentrated around Bozuretown and Oriental, where the drainage of Muskingum Brook and Springers Brook supports these specialized harvests. The map reveals the historical industrial footprint of the region at Hampton Furnace and the legacy of small rural crossroads like Tabernacle and Indian Mills.

Transportation is anchored by the New Jersey of Central railroad line, which skirts the southeastern corner near High Crossing. Cultural landmarks such as the Carranza Memorial and Camp Inawendiwin are situated within the heavy forest cover of Shamong and Tabernacle townships. The hydrology of the area, featuring the Batsto River and Bread and Cheese Run, provides the necessary water source for both the bogs and the historical mills that once operated at sites like Moores Mill.
