Redneck: You mention land already occupied...I have been to the area near the intersection you mentioned ( I believe it may show as Jeep Trail on some maps) and there are some interesting celler holes and remains of other structures. It appears to be a small cranberry operation. I know I am...

1887 Railroad Map While looking at the map collection I came across the RR map from 1887, and noticed a name I cannot recognize, on the south Waterford) side. I am reasonabley sure it does not say Goshen. I can read Atsion, Jackson and Parkdale, but the other name seems unfamiliar. Here is a...

I think I would agree with you Largo. Friendship is a short walking distance and the 8 or 10 houses at Friendship would not have had enough manpower to operate the cranberry operation there.
