Great info! You helped me alot, thanks! I am going to remember that site, quite useful!

Thank you so much! your maps and advice are always excellent! I agree with you and accept responsibility for my own actions I'd hold you blameless if I got blamed for trespassing. Your info/maps, and that of "bobpbx" have given me the exact answer that I needed. From my interpretation, the road...

I was trying to find the ruins of the old factory and see the Mizpah Sandwash off of Harley Ave in Mizpah, NJ. As I rode back on the dirt road called "Harley Ave" beyond the farmhouse, field and the property surrounding the farmland, I noticed that there are posted yellow signs on the trees...

oh, thanks for the info.! I'm a bit old school in my thinking. used to things having to be done manually! lol! You answered my question! Thanks! it's private (vacant) land, owned by "Arawak Paving Company." thanks! This is why I went on here and asked before finding myself in trouble for...

Wow! so you are a direct relative of the Treen family! I'm glad that the land is still owned by the original family and not the state. It is a historical site and should never be developed on or altered in any way. Yet, if it were in the hands of the state...who knows what might become of it...

I'm looking at google maps concerning the road beside Makepeace lake for better access to the lake (putting a rowboat in the lake. I notice that there is what appears to be a sand wash or blue body of water alongside Front Street. Never seen it before. Before I adventure out there, can anyone...

Ha! My thoughts exactly! A site like we are talking about in the Pines is the ideal location for kids to hang out in and play pranks on others or make up and exaggerate stories to amuse themselves with. Why on earth would you want to go back to sites like these at night? To tell you the truth, I...

LOL! Okay, I can see that it HAD to be a pump house, since the whole area was clearly farmland in the 30's thru perhaps the 70s. Now, I wander if the farmland was connected to the Estell family in anyway, since it was right behind and around the house. Thing is, I think the house stopped being...

I found a picture of the John Estell House! Its on the noyesmuseum website!

Martink, I never saw the pump house at Hammonton Lake, but, yes, this is my thought as well, some sort of pump house. But what is the purpose of a pump house here, unless of course it WAS in fact used for the irrigation of a local farm area as teleflux mentioned? I have not seen no pipelines or...

Speaking of the Estell House. Are there any pictures of it as it once stood?

Irrigation is certainly likely. Yet, I'm leaning towards the theory that it has something to do with the creek/lake management, since it is on WMA land, and the cinder block construction is likely from the 50s or 60s or even 70s (the Estell house was built WAY before that time and used Jersey...

Ha! I did'nt even realize my spelling was off on that! I guess its a case of you say tomato and I say To-mATO! LOL! Yes, the structure is underneath the trees, so looking from above you'd never see it. But I've looked with the older versions of maps, there seems to be no indication of it. Even...

I enjoy fishing, walking, and just enjoying this area frequently. There is a rectangular concrete "box" like structure located about 15 feet in from the creek's edge and right next to the end of the gravel roadway that leads to a small delipidated old dock. It has piqued my curiosity for the...

Ha! Thanks for the maps. Yes, I have looked at Boyd's Maps. Every time I look at them I wind up spending hours examining them and being fascinated by the history you can "uncover!" However, I still have not found my answer. What in the heck was the name of the company that owned the land or was...

Oh! Hey! The picture(s) are fascinating! I never knew there was so many houses in this area! I knew it from the 80s (before it became part of the "Lake Lenape Park (West) of the Atlantic County Parks Department. Back then it was just a single dirt road following the lakeside where everyone used...

Okay, cool. Now I also see, the app I was using was not too accuarate. After looking at your maps, I think the correct coordinates would be https://boydsmaps.com/#19.00/39.458636/-74.738765/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 Thanks!

THAT has got to be the freakiest part of this whole "set-up!" They look like....well, my first guess was something horrid, but, really, I think they are some sort old chopped up octopus or seafood.

Someone having a party????

O. Okay. I'll keep that in mind. LOL! I actually copied these and pasted them directly from my little "free" GEO app on my cell phone. I think its by "examobile.com" and is simply called "GPS Data." So, guess I'll either translate it or find another app that gives digital readings...thanks for...
