1957 Map of Keswick Grove

About this map

The New Jersey Pine Barrens define this landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Manchester, Dover, Berkeley, and Lacey meet amidst a dense network of tributaries. The economy of the mid-20th century is clearly visible through the extensive cultivation of Cranberry Bogs, including the substantial Dover Cranberry Bog and several unnamed operations along Wranget Brook and Green Branch. These wetlands are juxtaposed with the transit infrastructure of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Penn Central, which cut through the sandy plains.
