1949 Map of Whiting

About this map

Whiting serves as a central hub in the mid-century Pine Barrens, where the Central Railroad of New Jersey intersects a network of sand roads and early highways. The landscape is defined by its industrial and military transitions, from the northern reach of the Fort Dix Military Reservation to specialized sites like the Clay Works near Pasadena. This 1949 survey illustrates a region largely dominated by conservation and resource extraction, with vast tracts of the Lebanon State Forest and Penn State Forest preserving the characteristic sandy plains and winding cedar watercourses.
