About this map

Medford Lakes serves as the center of this 2023 landscape, where a dense cluster of water bodies including Lake Mishe Mokwa, Papoose Lake, and Upper Aetna Lake define the local geography. This area of the New Jersey Pine Barrens is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins, notably the West Jersey Cranberry Meadow and the meandering Mullica River. The map highlights the transition from concentrated residential lake communities like Birchwood Lakes and Oakwood Lakes to the more open, marshy terrain further south.

Industrial and historical remnants are preserved in the naming of sites such as Braddocks Mill and the Indian Mills Sawmill Pond, signaling the region's legacy of timber and milling. Small settlements like Flyat, Dellette, and Atco dot the landscape, connected by established routes like Co Rd 541. Terrain features like Sharps Mtn and Stone Mtn rise slightly above the surrounding basin, providing topographical variety in an otherwise low-lying region dominated by the Alquatka Branch and Haynes Creek.
