guy and whippoorwill, very helpful info. Thank yous! So I guess they weren't locks?

"Yes the coordinates are about 100 yards downstream from the first sunken bridge." Ya don't say. Well, I recently kayaked this portion of the batsto, in very low water, and failed to notice this second sunken bridge. Perhaps then you could be kind enough to give the coordinates for the...

kingof thepines, do you have the coordinates for the sunken bridge further downstream? Locks, eh? Interesting

whippoorwill, that would explain the high ground on either side of the stream. Do you have any info on this? cool name by the way.

"Bush gave the wealthy their huge tax cut, is spending billions and billions in Iraq, and just recently forked over half the frigging wealth of the country to the energy companies. I think a little of that money should have been given to strenghen Louisiana's Levee system. They have been asking...

Where's the LOL emoticon?

yeah, that's the underwater bridge on the batsto, a mile or so above hampton furnace.

I very much doubt that this Ranger Sanford feller is so uninformed as to believe that any lakes in South Jersey are 20-30 feet deep, let alone at its banks. The author was probably just inattentive.

"People misconstrue us with the guy who's Yogi Bear." A very pleasant mistake, if I'd say so myself.

Never heard of frogs eating mice!

Well, while swimming on West mill creek, I heard a series of huffs and stomps coming from right across the stream ten feet into the woods. I ascended to the top of the beach to get a better view, but didn't see anything. Assuming it to be a buck, I went along with my business. In retrospect...

Ed, yes I know it is still there, but it doesn't fit the description made here: Near the Headwaters of the Mullica River about five miles from the village of Elwood, is a long narrow island, midway of the stream and parallel with its course. The division thus formed is called "The...

Good tale, Lorun! I admire your sense of adventure in braving the creek (one of my favorites).

I came across this excerpt from Heston's South Jersey: 1664-1924.... QUOTE Near the Headwaters of the Mullica River about five miles from the village of Elwood, is a long narrow island, midway of the stream and parallel with its course. The division thus formed is called "The...

Well, looks like there was a third explanation afterall!

To me, there seems to be two feasible explanations. #1. Lake broyhill never existed. Perhaps it was a mapping error, intentional or not. Moreover, I can find no historical references to such a lake. #2. The lake was located on the upper stretches of Bull creek, and when the dam...
