    While We Were Sleeping, Very Bad Things Happened

    I'm interested... but not interested enough to go facebook. :D ( I'm sure someone will keep us updated here at NJPB though)

    Deforestation: Voorhees developer wants to build on wooded land next to Evesham's Black Run Preserve.

    "It recommended that Devel avoid impacting a 300-foot wetlands buffer in the Kettle Run Road site." My little 1,000 sq ft home is all by itself and my property includes wetlands with a 300 foot buffer. Kind of surprised that a 270-home development wouldn't require an even larger buffer, and...

    Deforestation: Voorhees developer wants to build on wooded land next to Evesham's Black Run Preserve.

    FWIW, this appears to be the location (actually, lot 10 is just outside of the development itself, but most of the other parcels don't have any owner info) https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#15/39.828060/-74.897337/darkstreets/0/0/

    John's Woods Preserve

    Interesting... I saw a bunch of posts from BarryC when I was going through old threads to fix broken terraserver and topozone links. Looks like the last time he posted was 2003, I didn't join until 2004.

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    Very interesting! All the maps I've seen have said "Bulldozed", I think the old Garmin topo's said that and the USGS calls it "Bulldozed" now. Don't ever recall seeing it called "Bulldozer" until this fire map. Did a quick search, and we have posts going back to 2003 that reference "Bulldozed...

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    Well, the USGS certainly knows where Mines Spung Road is. It's shown on their current digital US Topo map. :) https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.760299/-74.647034/ustopo2023/0.00/0.00

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    This is standard behavior for the Xenforo forum software that we use. New members will have their posts put into the moderation queue if they contain links. Unfortunately, this also happens when you quote a post that contains links, like you did. But you can thank the spammers for that, one of...

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    OK... I made that LIDAR map myself in 2013. I removed it from my site later because it's just full of errors, the resolution is very low and the coverage area is limited. Ben said he would like to use it here though, so I gave it to him. IMO, nobody should use that map today it's very...

    John's Woods Preserve

    Haven't been there myself and don't know anything about the history, sorry. But I have noticed it in the openspace data I use for my maps. Since this is Atlantic County, we now have lots of historical aerials. Maybe they can offer some insight? There's some kind of development...

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    @Spung-Man can probably explain that better than anyone else around here. :D It's not clear to me which maps you're talking about. But this is Mines Spung Road. You can see that Lower Forge-High Crossing Road is actually South of there. BTW, I think it's Bulldozed Road and not "Bulldozer"...

    The "interesting" thing about that alphabet soup of agencies is that it doesn't include the USGS....

    DRG24k quad dates

    The whole date thing is very confusing on these old maps. Look at the title block for the New Egypt quad that I posted above. Map was made in 1957, photo-revised in 1971 and photo-inspected in 1977. But when I made my big legacy24k map, it consisted of about 7200 quads so I didn't have time to...

    Blame the NJOGIS, ESRI, TomTom, Garmin, SafeGraph, GeoTechnologies, METI, NASA, EPA, NPS, USFWS and NJFFS! :D

    DRG24k quad dates

    Haha... I stand corrected again! I kept going to this site to find DRG's from other states and they were all gone. However, it looks like the NJ maps are still there (or at least the one I clicked on is). Good thing about this is you don't even have to download, you can view right on their site...

    DRG24k quad dates

    OK - duh - there is actually a very simple way to find out the date of each quad, but unfortunately there's a big caveat. Since the original DRG's are complete quads, just download them and look at the date! :D For example: Now for the caveat... you will need to find the full quads, and the...

    DRG24k quad dates

    Note: I split these posts into a separate thread, because I delete old posts from the problems thread They were made during the period 1995-98, but who knows what maps they actually chose to scan? So, I would say there is definitely no way to "reliably call out the year the topo depicts" -...

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    Is this the smoke from the fire? Looks like rain is headed our way, hard to tell if it will amount to anything.

    All done - the expanded map is now ready! As is often the case, you might need to clear your browser cache to access the new areas.

    boydsmaps site/connectivity problems

    Just a heads-up that I'm installing the expanded version of the USGS 24k DRG topo this afternoon, which involves several steps (it's about 7 million map tiles). While this is in progress, you may have issues accessing that map, such as a blank screen or apparent app freeze. It should only affect...
