"Maple Crossway, Atsion" turns up on a bunch of printed herbarium labels made by Walter M. Benner in 1926; he localizes it to Burlington County. Two handwritten labels by George W. Bassett from 1913 gives "Maple Crossing: above Indian Mill Road" for what I take to be the same locality (he later collected with Benner). I can't find any other reference to it. Does anyone have an idea of where it might be? The description sounds like it might be somewhere on the upper Wesickaman (there are both upland and lowland plants so labeled). I can't find any roads running more or less directly from that area toward Maple Island, which seemed like it might account for the name.
