About this map

The North Branch Rancocas Creek and its southern counterpart define the landscape of this Burlington County region, where the Penn Central railroad corridors connect agricultural and industrial hubs. In the mid-20th century, the area surrounding Pemberton served as a vital community center, featuring significant public infrastructure including the County Hospital and the County Welfare Home. The map illustrates the region's agricultural roots through numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered across the lowlands of Southampton and Pemberton townships.

To the northeast, the footprint of the Fort Dix Military Reservation occupies a large expanse, while the southern reaches transition into the protected woodlands of Lebanon State Forest. Notable local landmarks such as Burrs Mill on the Burrs Mill Brook and the Red Lion Airport highlight the mix of historic milling sites and modern transport that characterized the Pine Barrens periphery during this era.
