2011 Map of Oswego Lake

About this map

The Oswego River and its numerous tributaries, including Breeches Branch and Papoose Branch, define the hydrology of this Pine Barrens landscape. Isolated settlements such as Penn Place, Sim Place, and Munion Field are connected by a network of sand roads and trails, such as Batona Trl and Martha RD. The map reveals the extensive footprint of the US Navy Reservation within the Lower Plains, a site of significant federal land use. Water management is evident at the Oswego Dam and the Lake Absegami Dam, which regulate the flow near Lake Absegami. Local travel across these wetlands relies on crossings like Bartletts Bridge and Dans Bridge, which serve as vital connectors in an area largely characterized by winding branches and dense forest tracts.
