The property contains the remains of the sewage treatment plant for Amatol. I was told the land was recently sold, but I'm not sure to whom. The general store/gas station was here: https://online.boydsmaps.com/#19/39.62614/-74.65430/njgin2007i One of my earliest memories of the store involves...

"he cleared a two-by-three foot strip of land next to one of the homes nearby." Is there a typo here? I asked my grandmother about Clyde. She said that his general store was up and running in 1942 when my great grandfather bought the cabin on the Mullica. My great grandfather called Clyde...

Guy, what transpired in his later years as ranger?

Clyde Birdsall. He owned the general store with the Gulf gas station that is now about to completely collapse.

https://online.boydsmaps.com/#17/39.84274/-74.69833/lidar2021bw Clearly a giant footprint. Obviously an extinct species of three-toed animal. @Spung-Man might try to tell you that it is a deflationary basin from the pleistocene or some such nonsense. Don't buy it.

Likely not, but why not have some fun with it?

There is a raised circular feature around "B". I'm going out on a limb and suggesting impact crater.

OK, I think I finally have an answer for you. Dam: https://boydsmaps.com/#18/39.83730/-75.05852/lidar2021bw Race: https://boydsmaps.com/#18/39.83759/-75.05900/lidar2021bw Mill: https://boydsmaps.com/#18/39.83763/-75.05943/lidar2021bw

https://online.boydsmaps.com/#19/39.43394/-74.76679/lidar2021bw Two side by side.

And a likely tar kiln to boot: https://online.boydsmaps.com/#18/39.45132/-74.77446/lidar2021bw

The feature certainly appears on the lidar image; it just wasn't an actual feature on the ground. I wonder why.

Up around Sleep Creek (of Mullica fame ) too. These things are way more abundant than I had realized. This new lidar is revolutionary.

Look all around Munion Field. That there is a lot of charcoal. https://online.boydsmaps.com/#17/39.66294/-74.37272/lidar2021bw

Welp, what appeared to be something on the older lidar does not show up on the new lidar. I'm looking here for the location of the dam: https://boydsmaps.com/#18/39.83731/-75.05845/lidar2021bw

Incredible!

Tar kilns had clay bottoms that the liquified tar would flow down to before running through a pipe or trough into a bucket. What you visited might have just been a charcoal kiln ("Pit").

Right, but why is it that certain trails show up on the lower resolution lidar but not on the higher reolution images?

Bob, that's a dirt road you see. Here's the 1931 aerial. Notice the path going right through the center of the feature (the feature is where the target is).

It's strange to me that the 2019 lidar is so much more detailed than the lidar found in boydsmaps, yet things show up in the latter that don't show up in the former. Why is that?

Did you ever figure out what that is?
