    Historical landcover data

    Might also mention that there's this map which shows landcover info overlaid on 2017 aerials. It is based on 2012 landcover data, so there might be some variations between what it shows and the 2015 data in the XT app. Frankly, this map is kind of a mess and I will probably be deleting it at...

    Hi Lynn, This question is too long to answer in a profile post. Frankly, profile posts aren't useful for much IMO. :D But I've posted a response in the boydsmaps forum here: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/historical-landcover-data.14880/

    Historical landcover data

    This thread is primarily for @Lynn Cremona , but might be of interest to others. In a profile post, Lynn asked me the following question: "Is there a way to see the Atlantic White Cedar footprint in the Franklin Parker Preserve, using your maps, over the decades?" Hi Lynn! Profile posts are...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Very light rain here overnight and basically nothing this morning. At least it cut down the dust (which had gotten really bad) on the roads they recently scraped in the Peaslee WMA. Looks like the main part of the storm is headed out to sea with some smaller areas of rain in DelMarVa that might...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Wow, the forecast really seems to have changed. Currently only predicting between 1/10 and 1/4 inch of rain today and the same tonight, with less than 1/10 inch tomorrow. Guess the dry spell is going to continue.

    Pinelands Commission Question

    The answer may not be so simple. I have a stream and wetlands on my own property (in Atlantic County). There's a surveyed "wetlands line" and then a 300-foot "wetlands buffer line" beyond which no clearing is allowed. So, just talking about the size of the property and the amount of clearing...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Looks like some rain may finally be coming Tuesday through Wednesday night, but still a chance of rain for the rest of the week. Predicted totals vary, with the heavier rains apparently in the Southern Pines. Right now, they estimate a range of 1 to 1.75 inches for me in Atlantic County with a...

    Missing Woman

    "Police revealed this week that a couple spotted Lopez while driving on Lost Lane in Penn State Forest in Woodland in southern Burlington County around 6 p.m. on April 13. She was walking alone on the road. They spoke briefly to her before driving off, and then the couple spotted her car stuck...

    Sleepy

    Not so hard to imagine if you've been around here for awhile, discussion of bugs and how to keep them away has often been a "hot topic". :)

    I took "cover up" to mean "hide". In other words, the smell of DEET overwhelms their receptors so that they just smell it and not you. But if you want to challenge Sue's knowledge of insecticides... I know which side of that bet I'd take! :D

    An old post from Sue about ticks and DEET, but seems related. But this was from 2008 so there may be more research since then...

    Sleepy

    I never had a reaction to DEET (that I recall), but I just don't like the smell or feeling of it on my skin and don't use it.

    Rally this weekend?

    Thanks! No avoiding that however, couldn't find a map but sounds like that route goes right down my street!

    Rally this weekend?

    Saw a few of these signs this morning, apparently they will be travelling through Peaslee WMA and Belleplain State Forest on Hunters Mill Road and First Avenue, perhaps Joe Mason Road too? What/when is this event and is the route available somewhere (so I can avoid it ;) )?

    Help identifying what i see on Lidar

    That's something I actually considered once, but decided against it. Lots of work to write an editor with enough options to be useful, and most people wouldn't use it anyway. But there is a screenshot button (camera icon) that gives you a "clean" PNG image without any of the user interface and...

    Help identifying what i see on Lidar

    BTW... if I understand that Beers map, it looks like the Slater & Getsinger Glassworks you have circled is the historic site now known as the Estelleville Glassworks. The location that Brandon is talking about is about two miles Northeast of there...

    It's just me, I make the maps, write the software, manage the server.... pay the bills! :D Thanks, glad you find it useful... and welcome to the NJBP forums!

    Driving Question

    Man, that is some ugly Google AI enhanced imagery! :D Have never noticed that spot before. Guessing that box with the X just means don't stop and block the intersection when the light changes. A number of years ago they had a safety campaign, "Don't block the box". For example, see this...

    interesting old book i found.

    There must be a number of other body parts used to describe topography.... arm, knee, foot, ankle, heel, hand, elbow, gut, throat, eye... mouth (like Boca Raton) and no doubt others. :D

    interesting old book i found.

    Head of River also comes to mind. But the origin of the Tuckahoe River is nowhere near there. I guess they meant this was as far upstream as boats would go?
