About this map

Lebanon State Forest and Penn State Forest dominate this section of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of cedar swamps and sandy plains. At the northern edge of the map, the settlement of Woodmansie sits along the Central Railroad of New Jersey, a vital corridor for the local cranberry industry. The prevalence of Cranberry Bogs, including the Goodwater Cranberry Bog, reflects the specialized agriculture that has long shaped the regional economy.

Remote infrastructure like the Coyle Airport and the Tower at Bear Swamp Hill provide clear landmarks amidst the sprawling woodland. This 1951 edition captures the area before the expansion of modern suburban corridors, showing a network of sand roads like Barnegat Road and Whiting Road that connected isolated settlements such as Red Oak Grove to the larger centers of Burlington and Ocean counties.
