About this map

The New Jersey Pine Barrens are defined here by a dense network of watercourses and agricultural clearings, most notably the numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered throughout the lowlands. Near Keswick Lake, the settlement of Keswick Grove sits adjacent to the William Rawle Monument, while the community of Cedar Crest occupies a central position at a junction of regional roads. The landscape is heavily divided by natural drainage such as Wrangel Brook and Davenport Branch, which flow toward the eastern reaches of the county.

Industrial and recreational infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through the path of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the prominent John Davison Rockefeller Memorial Highway. Deep in the southern section of the quadrangle, Camp Columbus and Bamber Lake mark nodes of activity amidst the thick forests and swamps, while local history is noted by the presence of a small Cemetery and the Park Rod and Gun Club near the northern border.
