About this map

The settlement of Woodmansie sits at the junction of the Central RR of New Jersey and Barnegat Road, serving as a focal point for this section of the Pine Barrens in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by its hydrology and specialized agriculture, evidenced by numerous Cranberry Bogs and Cranberry Bog operations situated along the Biddle Branch and Shoal Branch. These bogs represent a significant regional industry, integrated into a terrain largely protected by the Lebanon State Forest and Penn State Forest.

Navigation through the dense vegetation is facilitated by a network of named tracks such as Butterworth Rd and Deephollow Lane. Notable landmarks include a central Airfield and a U S Government Reservation (Aeronautical Communication Station) located near the southern boundary. The topography transitions into the West Plains, with distinct rises at Spring Hill and Bear Swamp Hill overlooking the complex network of cedar-colored streams.
