When I lived in Belleplain Tarkiln Branch was one of my hangouts.I never thought of why it might be called that and had forgotten about it.

The little round pit might be a well.I know where a well is and the rim clearly shows up on the new LIDAR

Any historical info on those graves? Date put in? Who put them there?> Were they dogs?

Thanks Gabe! I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.Would also explain the trench that seems to break the ring in most of the features.,I knew about tar burning operations in the carolinas but didn't know the same thing was being done up here. I have probably walked over these...

What is a tar kiln? Sometrghimng to do with pine sap?

Would anyone have any idea what these button shaped formations are? They are all over the Cumberland Pond area and I suspect they map be Collier charcoal sites.I have checked the other furnace area and have found none or only a single on here and there but there are literally clusters in the...

Thanks Bob.I was trying to use the aerials with the hillshade on and they would start to come up and then disappear and the shade would cover them. This should let me get pretty darn close.

Looks like I"ll be making some edumacated guesses.

I just found a new island! With a potential cellar hole on it!

IS there anyway to get coords off this imagery? Already have found some interesting volcano looking structures out in the boonies but no way to get an exact coordinate.I think they may be cellar holes.Its an area that was settled long ago but is now all state woods,I knew there were cellars I...

I remember them replacing this bridge in 71 when I was six.used to have board sidewalks and you could see the river through the gaps in the boards.Now they're ready to rebuild it again.No wonder I feel so old.Even steel and concrete can't last this long...

I was all over that area back in the late 80's but that was before I could read such large words like Trespassing.

The only official covered bridge left in NJ other then the one in Cherry Hill but that one only dates from the 50;s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Sergeant%27s_Covered_Bridge

I guess these rednecks aren't high tech or they'd know about aerials and that they had created an obvious pot farm on the imagery.

https://boydsmaps.com/#16/39.6291/-74.6189/lidarHD This is the Buttonwood Hill end of the road.This is Boyds Lidar in the Pines and is the only map where the road shows well. here is the Batsto end https://boydsmaps.com/#16/39.6455/-74.6416/lidarHD the road has a 45 degree left turn about...

This old road is not a trail.It is an obvious berm heading into the swamp toward batsto from Buttonwood Hill.There will be spots where the vegetation will force you to walk beside it in the swamp .As the road crosses patches of higher ground it disappears and has to be searched for on the other...

Genesis 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
