1957 Map of Whiting

About this map

Fort Dix Military Reservation and Lebanon State Forest dominate this landscape in the mid-20th century, where the Pine Barrens of Manchester and Woodland townships are marked by cranberry agriculture and military boundaries. The settlement of Whiting serves as a central hub, where the Penn Central tracks intersect with the rural road network. Smaller, isolated communities such as Roosevelt City, Buckingham, and Wheatland (Pasadena) are scattered among the dense waterways, including the three branches of Mount Misery Brook and the Pole Bridge Branch. The presence of several Cranberry Bogs near the Pemberton border illustrates the specialized agricultural history of this region. This survey captures a moment before modern development, preserving the locations of the Manchester Sch and old transit corridors like Central Jersey Road.
