About this map

Harrisville and Martha serve as focal points for this portion of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of the Wading River and the Oswego River. The map reveals an intricate system of water management, visible in the extensive Friendship Cranberry Bogs and Hog Wallow Cranberry Bogs, which speak to the region's enduring agricultural traditions. Small settlements like Jenkins Neck, Tylertown, and Bulltown are connected by a network of historic thoroughfares including the Washington Tpke and Tuckerton Rd.

Geographic landmarks such as Jemima Mt and Stormy Hill provide relief in the low-lying terrain. The presence of the A T & T Row and various old roads and trails, such as the Batona Trl, highlight the area's transition from an industrial heartland of iron and glass to its modern role as a protected wilderness. Notable water bodies like Lake Oswego and Harrisville Pond further illustrate how the natural environment was harnessed for both local industry and subsequent conservation.
