1956 Map of Jenkins

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Wharton State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, preserving a network of sand roads and waterways that once fueled the early industrial character of the Pine Barrens. Traces of a bygone era are visible at the Washington Ruin and the Ruins near Harrisville, where the presence of Harrisville Pond and Martha Pond suggests the region's history of bog iron production and milling. Small, clustered settlements like Bulltown, Tylertown, and Maxwell are connected by narrow routes such as Quaker Bridge Road and Speedwell Road. Along the West Branch Wading River and Oswego River, several Cranberry Bogs indicate the area's transition toward specialized agriculture. For genealogists, the map preserves locations like St Andrews Ch and the riverside Charcoal Landing, providing a clear look at the human footprint within this protected forest during the 1950s.
