About this map

The Great Egg Harbor River and its network of tributaries, including Hospitality Branch and Indian Branch, dictate the settlement patterns of this Pine Barrens landscape. The area is defined by a cluster of small communities and rural intersections, from the residential grids of Newtonville and Richland to the historic grounds of Weymouth. Waterways remain central to the geography, with Pancoast Mill Pond on Deep Run and the winding Makepeace Stream illustrating the hydrologic complexity of Atlantic County.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites, such as the Old Weymouth Meeting House Cem and the Newtonville Cem. The Conrail line and several major thoroughfares like Mays Landing Rd and the White Horse Pike cut across the wetlands, connecting disparate points like Penny Pot and Da Costa. These transit corridors have historically shaped the growth of Hammonton and Folsom, which sit atop a landscape of sandy soils and dense riparian vegetation.
