    Atsion River?

    Nice! Somehow, I missed that thread. But you stated the dam broke in 1939. The so-called 1940 aerials still show it however. Is that evidence that these aerials could be older than 1940 (see my post here, I think they are pre-WWII) or could the dam have broken later?

    Atsion River?

    I hadn't seen that map before - very cool! :cool: But this has me thinking.... maybe Lake Broyhill actually was a thing? :D

    Atsion River?

    Here's something I never noticed before. On the old topo maps, the section of the Mullica between Atsion Lake and Batsto is labelled as "Atsion River". Can't remember any discussion of this before, maybe I missed it? You can see it here: Vermeule...

    1950's, 60's and 70's aerials

    This might help to date the 1940 aerials (although they may not have all been filmed at the same time). This is the location of the old National Fireworks Bomb Factory we discussed in this thread. But... it's not there! That suggests these aerials were taken before the war (1940?). If you look...

    Exploring The Green Bank CCC Camp, 15 Years Later

    Well, it took a little longer than planned (as usual...) but here's the camp in 1940. You will also find 1957 and 1963 aerials on the maps menu. I don't want to hijack this thread, so see the discussion here for some more info.

    1950's, 60's and 70's aerials

    As posted in this thread, I have just uploaded 1940, 1957 and 1963 aerials of Atlantic County. The coverage is very limited - they're the smallest maps in the system - but there are some real gems here IMO. The 1940 aerials are more like I wished the 1930's aerials were, with much better detail...

    Lake Pine Memories ..

    This property at 128 Taunton Blvd is shown as a "vacant restaurant", built in 1926. Is that the location you were talking about? https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#17/39.866958/-74.848506/parcels07/0/0/

    Lake Pine Memories ..

    I assumed it was Lake Pine, near Taunton Lake. I lived in Medford Lakes about 25 years ago myself. I remember Beau Rivage, but not the old restaurant. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.861721/-74.852100/legacy24k/0.00/0.00 @sewnmom might enjoy this old thread about that general area, it rambles...

    Discrepancy

    OK, I see it now... was thinking in terms of goshen pond and not the town of Goshen before. :) Yeah, looks like they just combined two parcels into one. It says Nature Conservancy in my data from the NJDEP, but there is no listing for Goshen Ponds Preserve on their website. Is this one of those...

    Discrepancy

    Can't say much without a link to the actual place. Sorry, I don't recognize it offhand. I used 2020 data, so maybe that's the difference? What data does it show in pinesXT? All I can say is that, if it's on the map then it was part of the NJGIN shapefile that I downloaded. Post a link and I can...

    CJRR milepost 90

    My grandfather was killed on the side of the road by a passing car when he stopped to help a stranger change a flat tire at dusk. It was very long ago, I was so young that I barely even knew him. But I never once wished he had roadside memorial.

    Exploring The Green Bank CCC Camp, 15 Years Later

    I have been reluctant to make these 1940 aerials into a map because they only cover Atlantic County (and that is not even quite complete). However, there are some very interesting things and the resolution is good. So, I'm downloading now and will make them into a small map. But I'm in the...

    Exploring The Green Bank CCC Camp, 15 Years Later

    Here it is in 1957. You can see a long, narrow building at the camp location and it looks like Horace Patten's house is still standing. But just about all of the secrets are revealed on the 1940 aerials! :clint:

    Exploring The Green Bank CCC Camp, 15 Years Later

    I assume that is this place? It shows two rows of buildings. What does NYA mean? You can see one large slab/foundation on the LIDAR, maybe a couple buildings on the 1970 aerials, but they aren't very clear

    CJRR milepost 90

    Unpopular? Probably true. But I agree.

    CJRR milepost 90

    I wonder if it was removed by the state and not stolen? This just came from a quick search, there's some controversy about this, and possibly a newer law is in effect now? "All roadside memorials, or additions thereto, installed without first contacting the Authority shall be subject to the...

    GEICO Insurance

    I really don't know, but with almost a $1000 annual savings for the same coverage, it's hard for me to believe there isn't something very different between those companies. Unfortunately, you may not find out what that is unless you need to file a claim. But hopefully that will never happen.

    Fire in Greenwood Forest Ocean County Near Jones Road

    I have been brushing a few ticks off my pants, but got chigged pretty bad up and down my left leg a week ago after wandering through some underbrush on my property. I actually saw one of those little guys on my pants yesterday, really tiny and looked like a speck of dirt or dried leaves until I...

    New Mid-Atlantic NAIP series

    The new, expanded 2010 NAIP aerials are now online, with full mid-Atlantic coverage. I'll be updating the 2006, 2013 and 2019 NAIP aerials to cover the mid-Atlantic in the next few weeks as well. The other big change is the simplification of the Map Menu Options. Now there are only three...
