Gabe, whenever this rain ends i will go to the coordinates of each feature above and take photos. Again , thanks so much for the help.

I wonder if there is a way to measure them to look for any signs of uniformity. Are they all different sizes and depths ? Is there an kind of pattern among them or anwhere else ?

Would the mill have been on the bee lane side of Somerdale road ?

Jerseyman, thank you for the much needed input ! I kept coming across posts which would have “ Jerseyman is the one you need to talk to about this .” Today i am going to take a walk back there and follow up on everything you have suggested to check out. I will post an update later along with...

Are they from a tree that fell and rotted away ?

Thank you all for the time you have taken to help me out and lend me some much needed input. Ive had two deaths recently in the family and within a week from each other so its hard to find the motivation to get back into things im into. If anyone is interested in meeting up at the tavern and...

Pineypaddler thanks for your input and time ! Ive talked about this topic with Sharon Mickle who gives the tours at the tavern and has been involved with saving the moffa farm house . She told me she believes it was in the same location you place the races and dam . You can see another earthwork...

I hope its showing up in the image. I dont know if even being “ blurred “ is the right term . The screenshot image is right over the tavern with Somerdale road running east to west just below .

Sorry about that ! Wont happen again. Thanks for letting me know about the lidar data issue . I couldn’t figure out why that area would be blurred . The only thing i came up with was theres an archaeological grid in that area from the NJ arcgis website . I thought maybe it was for site...

Thanks for the tips ! Ive also tried using the Lidar feature on Boyds maps but , the area im trying to search in is blurred out for some reason .

Does anyone have any tips on what to look for as far as finding the site where a watermill once stood? Im pretty sure you need to understand the topography of the land where you suspect a mill may have once stood . And understanding the topography will narrow down what kind of mill would have...

Ive spent the past 3 hours on this post reading about the history of the pines. I personally thank you as most of these stories ive never heard of , knew about , or would stumble across reading about the history of our pines. Mr Teegate , Thank you !

Possibly. That road onced connected to Somerdale over the creek. Maybe there was a sign telling travelers of the bridge and creek crossing ahead. The road was abandoned I believe in 1936

I was also thinking it may have been either moved and stacked before the plow hit it . The land used to consist of 177 acres of farmland with Big timber creek running along the front of the house. I also posted about a sawmill or gristmill potentially being at Chews landing in this specific...

I always pass this stone work that is right at the beginning of the driveway to the tavern as soon as you turn off Floodgate rd. It looks like field stone with an older local style looking mortar. Does anyone have any idea what it is or was ?

Thanks for all of your help guys. I appreciate yous taking your time to help look. I tried lidar and about every historical map / satellite viewers i could come across and agree about seeing no signs of a mill race or pond. Theres 1 or two interesting spots i saw under the lidar view but think...

Yeah ive checked. No luck yet . I know Hugg’s would have been close in Bellmawr and im aware of 2 that were at Blackwood lake. Im starting to think there was never one there on Otter branch. Im hoping Jerseyman may see this and help me out.

Ive been trying to locate any of the mills that possibly could have been on Otter branch , the tributary off the northern branch of big timber creek. I heard about them reading Farr’s Watermills of Camden County. But i have yet to find any evidence of a mill being at that location
