    Derelict Houses on Indian Cabin Road, Egg Harbor City, NJ

    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...

    What is this? Located next to Steven's Creek, in the back of the John Estell House remains in Estellville, NJ.

    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...

    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?

    What is this? Located next to Steven's Creek, in the back of the John Estell House remains in Estellville, NJ.

    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...

    What is this? Located next to Steven's Creek, in the back of the John Estell House remains in Estellville, NJ.

    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...

    Ruins at Lake Lenape West, Mays Landing, NJ

    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...

    Ruins at Lake Lenape West, Mays Landing, NJ

    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...

    Ruins at Lake Lenape West, Mays Landing, NJ

    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!

    Okay, having a picnic is cool and all....but in the middle of a pine trail?! LOL!

    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.

    Ruins at Lake Lenape West, Mays Landing, NJ

    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...

    Old Church located behind the Harding Lakes area of Mays Landing, NJ

    I've been trying to locate the old "fireworks" factory located somewhere behind the Harding Lakes area, but have yet to find it. I was speaking to someone in passing the other day. He mentioned that there was an old church located there too, buried in the pines. Can anyone give an exact GEO...

    Ruins at Lake Lenape West, Mays Landing, NJ

    Recently I was biking through this park and noticed an old foundation I'd never noticed before. In the 1980s I found some distinctive "holes" or possibly some kind of old sewage "manholes" in the ground in this area. Today, the park is run by Atlantic County as a campground/recreational area...

    Dorothy, Nj Train Station

    Thanks for the info. According to your info, and looking at google maps today, the area is now a private residence with nothing left of the train station, except for the still in use railroad track.
