1949 Map of Whiting

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania Railroad intersect at the village of Whiting, forming a major transit point through the pine-dominated landscape of mid-century Ocean and Burlington Counties. This post-war survey reveals a region defined by extensive public lands and industrial footprints, including the edge of the Fort Dix Military Reservation and the sprawling Lebanon State Forest. To the south, the West Plains represent a unique ecological terrain, while scattered settlements like Woodmansie and Pasadena sit alongside rail lines that served the local economy. Local industry and specialized land use are evident at the Clay Works and the religious retreat at Keswick Grove. Numerous cedar swamps and winding watercourses such as Pole Bridge Branch and Webbs Mill Branch illustrate the intricate hydrology that long supported the area's specialized agriculture and bog-iron history.
