About this map

The sprawling military installations of Fort Dix and McGuire AFB dominate the southern half of this landscape at the intersection of Ocean, Burlington, and Monmouth counties. These expansive federal grounds contrast sharply with the established village centers and agricultural tracts to the north. Historical settlements such as New Egypt, Wrightstown, and Jacobstown are shown with their detailed street grids, serving as anchor points for the surrounding rural road network.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Crosswicks Creek and its tributaries like Lahaway Cr and Long Bog Run draining the northern plains. The presence of Oakford Lake at New Egypt and Cookstown Pond highlights the importance of managed water bodies in these communities. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the more wooded environments of the Pine Barrens, marked by Brindle Lake and Amphibious Lake within the military reservation boundaries.
