2014 Map of Oswego Lake

About this map

Oswego Lake and the Oswego River anchor this landscape along the border of Burlington and Ocean counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Breeches Br, Beaver Br, and the forks of the Bass River. Small, historically significant settlements like Penn Place, Sim Place, and Leektown are connected by a web of sand roads and trails, such as the Batona Trl. The presence of Munion Field and the Warren Grove Range Airport suggests specialized land use within the Pine Barrens environment. Downstream, the waters collect into Lake Absegami, while crossing points like Bartletts Bridge and Dans Bridge provide key transit links through the Lower Plains. This map details the isolated reaches of the New Jersey interior before the modern expansion of coastal infrastructure.
