About this map

Cranberry bogs and watercourses define this stretch of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, centered on the intersection of Tabernacle and Shamong townships. The landscape is a network of specialized agriculture and iron-era history, evidenced by Hampton Furnace along the Batsto River. Settlement patterns are dispersed, featuring local centers like Indian Mills and Bozarthtown, alongside family-named sites such as Moores Mill and Sooy Place.

Industrial and recreational footprints are visible in the New Jersey Central railroad line and Camp Inawendwin. The presence of the Carranza Memorial marks a specific historical event in the Wharton State Forest region. Water management is central to the area's identity, with complex drainage from Muskingum Brook and Cheese and Bread Run feeding the extensive bog systems that supported the local economy during this mid-century period.
