No Bob thats not what I meant.I saw no beaver dam. I think there may have been a beaver dam in the remote past like maybe 100 years or more ago and that one of the floods that hit this drainage occasionally (I have seen a few good ones) piled up sand along an existing beaver dam at the time.Of...

I hit the northern end of Buckshutem Dam today.Some gorgeous woods on the way there,primeval laurel thickets but the last fifty yards turned into a real mess,got tore up.Crawled in along the creek which had absolutely no flow.I found nothing resembling a berm,on heading out i went mor to the...

The road crossing gravelly run yes is Battle Lane.The road crossing Buckshutem Creek is route 555 (Dividing Creek or Narrow Lane rd.)

Ok I must report a defeat on my part. I tried to reach one of the dams today after working the hoot owl shift last night.The dam located here https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.347326/-75.075200/lidar2022hd/0.00/0.00 I tried the approach from the south and walked the old road heading west from 555...

yes they are, their medium sized trees. The cypress along Sluice creek down by South Dennis is quite large and was mentioned as being large over a century ago

I know of two white oaks down here that are bigger around then that but their not post oaks.I still haven't measured them but from measuring trees in bear swamp I"d estimate em to be about 16 ft.

The markers are pieces of slag, I haven't been there in probably fifteen years or more and had a helluva time finding them back then,probably couldn't find them again.They have no names,just pieces of slag half buried in the ground.

This is after all NJ.Best to assume that nothing is permitted. yep could even get in trouble for picking up old bottle a.k.a. trash

My cousin is a bay crabber and deals with Jenkins all the time.I"ve never been in there but he thinks the world of them.

That doesn’t look like a kiln to me, they usually look like donuts

I had heard that but find no info on it. I heard it involved indians which is highly unlikely, the Lenape were peaceful and mostly gone by the revolution

North side would be the Millville side.I know the first homes this side were built in the 50's,the bungalows on millville side are identical so I"d assume same time frame over there.Now there were baileytown homes much earlier in what is now bevan and yes up and down the Maurice had older homes...

Interestingly as long as the lake has been here the settlement of the lake itself outside of the widely spaced dwelling wasn't undertaken till the 50's as a Shooby retirement/vacation home site.I live in one of the original bungalow and was originally owned by the parents of the shoobies who...

Laurel Lake has been here for well over 200 years I believe and there is the remains of an old mill dam where gravelly run crosses battle lane (Would love to know how that road got it's name) As long as the lake has been there there are miraculously still cedar stumps under the dark waters. I...

Are they saying that in the Maurice where Buckshutem and Menantico enter across from each other that the force was so great it created whitewater? There must have been a much higher water table ten today.neither of these streams today create more then a ripple as they enter the maurice.perhaps...

Do these features look more like ridges or trenches? I can't decide.

Buckshutem Swamp hasn't been near the great place to hang out it used to be.The Dirt Track and Race Track are literally so loud there on weekends that it can give you a headache.I don't understand why any wildlife would even stay there.The borders of the swamp are thick laurel tangles liberally...

https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.350174/-75.081808/lidar2021bw/0.00/0.00 a well defined side stream channel contrasts with the channelless Buckshutem.The LIDAR tells true,Buckshutem has no channel to speak of till you get to 555.A few feet here and there if running water playing peekaboo under...

The one I posted is a trail,there is often home made bridges put there that last a few years and rot or collapse.Last time I was there there was a very unsafe dilapidated log bridge.The ones Gabe posted Ihave never been to or I should say I"ve probably walked past them and never gave them a...

There was supposedly an old log cabin here a couple centuries ago that a recluse lived in.The area is open pine and appears to have been a field once with no huckleberry root layer. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.341719/-75.054262/lidar2021bw/0.00/0.00
