About this map

McGuire Air Force Base and the expansive grounds of Fort Dix dominate the southwestern quadrant of this landscape, reflecting the significant military presence that has shaped the region's development. In contrast to these high-activity installations, the village of New Egypt sits at the center of a network of rural roads, situated along the waters of Oakford Lake and its corresponding Oakford Lake Dam. The terrain is defined by a series of waterways, including Crosswicks Creek and Lahaway Creek, which cut through the agricultural and wooded surroundings.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several small settlements such as Arneytown, Jacobstown, and Hornerstown, which remain connected by historic thoroughfares like the Province Line Rd. Toward the south, Cranberry Hall and the area near Taylors Mountain provide a look at the natural landscape before it gives way to the structured layout of the military installations near Pointville and Wrightstown.
