1894 Map of Pemberton

USGS Topo · Published 1894

About this map

Pemberton and the surrounding pine forests of Burlington County are captured here in an era of transition, where early industrial furnaces and glassworks operated alongside new rail-fed resort developments. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the North Branch of Rancocas Creek and the Batsto River, supporting centers of early manufacture like Hanover Furnace, Hampton Furnace, and the Lebanon Glass Works. The expansion of the Pennsylvania RR Amboy Division through New Lisbon and Browns Mills in the Pines signals the region's late-19th-century shift toward a recreational and agricultural economy. Geographers George H. Cook and Henry Gannett documented a territory dotted with family-named places like Sooy Place and Johnson Place, alongside curiously named junctions such as Comical Corner and Ong Hat.
