I pass under this bridge quite often on the way to my glaucoma doctors and my ex father in law grew up on Heine ave,next to the tracks

That would be in cape may county on 550 next to Heine Avenue

I also drove by this one for years and never seen it till one day there it was.No excuse for this one though since I believe on the old topos some where there is a building symbo lmarking the location,is supposed to be something across the street as well but I couldn't find anything.This ruin...

Thats probabl y a little further them i stomped. The woods are very open you’d think you’d see something from the road but it’s worgh a look. I passes a sawmill for years near EvansBridge and the one day miraculously spotted it as i went by

Boyd I was for some reason thinking this was at the next intersection north. I have been all over this intersection as well years ago looking for a hartman Map stone I never found.I have seen no ruins of any kind here but something like a saw mill mostly buried in duff with just bolts sticking...

I have been all over this corner,just parked there a couple weeks ago and have seen no structure there but there are some big chunks of stone if I remember right pushed up by the state to widen the road and make an area big enough to park a couple cars.Perhaps these chunks of stone were from a...

Spung have you ever found any evidence of either one of these houses? I have looked several times and can find no cellar holes or even people plants hinting at occupation in the past.

those are tar kilns.I haven't made it to those yet but close to it.I have been to almost every one west of manumuskin now and am working my way east ward. yes you could walk right over some of them and never notice it,especially if covered with brush which most are. I have seen some that stick...

Bradys Rangers in the Revolution realized Green Clothing helped conceal them in their bush fighting tactics,a precssor to camo? Of course the injuns were already masters at it

https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.631269/-74.625574/lidar2022hd/0.00/0.00 perhps a faint road on crosshairs? Slightly east of road on map but heads north from river further north https://boydsmaps.com/#18.00/39.641225/-74.622216/lidar2022hd/0.00/0.00 even further...

That line your on I believe is a trench .I remember a prominent trench on that particular dune which was quite a gorgeous little island.

You are correct,no sign of that road whatsoever.Now look at the crosshairs here https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.639733/-74.632663/njgin1930/0.00/0.00 What is this east west feature? A road or just a photographic anomaly?

I"ve never seen that map.We can look for evidence of that road when there.You'd think there would be a causeway for that road as well.I was all over that swamp when I was exploring it for several months every weekend.I don';t remember a north south road and I"m usually good at picking old roads...

I think we have two separate conversations going on this thread.Perhaps a Mordecai Trench thread?

That would be so but perhaps their lines did extend across ancient 542 and into the swamp to the future 1808 road but they dug no trenches in the swamp for obvious reasons.The British may have used the road but aS they approached batsto they would not have been in column they would have fanned...

No Bob somehow I had missed this post. Yes they had to put the artillery some where and the troops no doubt had selected positions but where? They may not have realized the British had no intention of proceeding further after Chestnuy neck and may have been ready for them.I forget where I read...

I hadnt seen the ones that far away. I stand corrected. I would say yes dunes. On some of those dunes in Mordecai are trenches, some near the road and some not. I could understand borrow trenches along road but further away I’d think the would just dig pits.Yes we definitely need to check them...

I think the LIDAR is better then I could have ever hoped for.I will take tracks files of the trenches and we can overlay them on the LIDAR and maybe get a better idea of what to look for in identifying the trenches on LIDARIf I remember right they were knee to thigh deep and just wide enough to...

Gabe I"d be glad to hit thwe swamp together and settle this.I am now having sunday and mondays off.will have the next five sundays off but in a few weeks will be having saturdays off as well. If the road wasn't built to 1808 then iot definitely wasn't incorporated into breastworks and if the...
