About this map

Hampton Furnace and Mary Ann Furnace anchor the industrial geography of the New Jersey Pine Barrens on this 1880s survey. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of the North Branch Rancocas Creek and its many tributaries, which supported early iron and glass industries like the Lebanon Glassworks. Commercial centers such as Pemberton, Vincentown, and Smithville appear at the peak of their nineteenth-century development, connected by the Pennsylvania R.R. Amboy Division and the Central R.R. of New Jersey Southern Division. To the east, the terrain transitions into the iconic wilderness of Bear Swamp and Mount Misery, where isolated outposts like Browns Mills in the Pines and Indian Mills mark the sparse settlement patterns of the sandy interior. Notable landmarks like Apple Pie Hill and the Wading River Canal provide critical reference points for the era's topography.
