You are, of course, welcome! I can't recall where bread and Cheese Run falls on the map but the cheese may have been cut off by an inset. I get the distinct impression, but could be wrong, that there was a lot of map surveyed, even drawn, that was eliminated for the production version of this...

This is a great thread. I've enjoyed reading it. So I saw this in Bisbee's Sign Posts and decided it was just barely pertinent enough to post. CAKES SPRUTO (Washington Township). A small mill stream which flows south into the Mullica River just west of Lower Bank. The mouth of Cakes Spruto...

Oh no! Not another stupid big map from relayer. Yeah, I know. Browser busting self promotion are us (or is it "is me"?). At any rate, with the caveats mentioned in the Burlington post it is still an interesting map and well worth a look. There are some issues as far as parts of SJ being...

Oh! I forgot to credit Spung-man with letting the first to remind me about this. We were actually on the phone ...

Sorry - I forgot to issue my standard warning about what browsers will and won't display enormous online images. IE, Firefox and other Mizilla based browsers seem to have real problems with big images. I thought that Chrome handled such things wbut was apparently wrong. Safari and Opera...

Below is a post card view, which was over enthusiastically described by an ebay vendor as "aerial", of the CCC camp at Green Bank. I downloaded the image a short time ago and figured I'd post it here. I wish I kew a bit more about the subject but have not, alas, taken the time to do the...

Well, Ijust put up a copy of the 1859 Parry Sikes and Earl Map of Burlington County. It is an obscenely huge file (about 50 meg) but loads fine, albeit with a bit of a wait on both my 10 year old iLamp and its new cousin. I'm not entirely pleased with my handiwork so it may change slightly...

Yeah. That's what the doctor said. I really need to lose some weight:)

Oddly, I found one more. Not a sweeping shot of riverscape, but rather a happy bunch of folks, mostly in swim gear, posed by the river at Lower Bank. The card dates from around 1923 and may, I know it's a stretch, show some of the people mentioned in the paper a few years later. Anyway...

Thanks for the aerial and the map guys. They make the picture make more sense:)

One of of the pleasures of this season, as noted by no less an authority than Amy Grant, is to "make up tales of how it used to be." This is such a tale. Inspired by an actual place name in Atlantic County, it was first spun a year ago for the West Jersey History Roundtable and the told again...

Great resource. Looks like a good book project to me. Transcribed, maybe illustrated, you could call it A Year ub the Pines or something like that. Thanks for sharing it. Here, for whatever it's worth, is a shot of the Mullica near Lower Bank from about 20 years before the paper.

Guy You're welcome and thanks for the welcome back. I hope to be around here a bit more than I've been. SM I looked at a satellite view on Mapquest (which seems to be a lot better than Google at finding old place names - but that's another post) and don't recall anything obvious. But then I...

Below is a picture of the boarding house at DaCosta That was taken on 4 April 1907. Here are a few lines about the picture from Paul Schopp, who obviously paid far more attention to the information out at ebay than I did. "This is a great view of G.H. Day’s Boarding House in Da Costa. Day is...

Ben - Nice job of porting things over. True, I just spent a bunch of time yelling at the screen, but that's my fault for not stopping by more often. Looks good.

Linda asked me to remind folks that Lines on the Pines is coming up fast. This is a great event that is part book signing, part art show, part science fair, part history exhibit, part guide to the outdoors, part folk festival and all about the New Jersey Pine Barrens and areas just adjacent...

Jerseyman - Thanks for the link:) Gentlemen - I'm sorry that you have encountered difficulty using the Hartman Maps. I have re-tested the links and all are in working order. Map 4 has an unusually large top margin which may make it look like it hasn't loaded. It does though. I'll...

Guy - That's just fine. While I prefer the "one big piece" look, 4 pieces may make it easier for folks to view. BTW, thanks for liking the map. Atlantic County is next. Sometime in December we hope.

Anybody interested in seeing a really big, detailed, slow loading, browser busting 148 year old map of Cumberland County? Go here then: http://www.westjerseyhistory.org/maps/countymaps/cumberland-lakeandbeers-1862.shtml Enjoy:)

Something like that. Give him a call sometime.
