1956 Map of Jenkins

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Cranberry Bogs and the intricate hydrology of the Pine Barrens dominate this mid-century landscape. The map details the complex water network of the West Branch Wading River and Oswego River, where agricultural operations like the Hog Wallow Cranberry Bogs were integrated into the swampy terrain. Small, rural settlements such as Friendship, Maxwell, and Jenkins are connected by a web of sand and gravel roads, including the Speedwell Road and Washington Road. Evidence of earlier industrial activity is visible through the Ruins Harrisville and the Washington Ruin, highlighting the area's transition from 19th-century resource extraction toward the conservation found in the Wharton State Forest. For genealogists, the map locates family-named spots like Bulltown, Tylertown, and Crowleytown, alongside local landmarks like St Andrews Ch and the Charcoal Landing on the riverbank.
