    What are these features?

    https://boydsmaps.com/#18.00/39.711330/-74.565650/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 https://boydsmaps.com/#18.00/39.622108/-74.646518/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 I have a hypothesis, but want to hear from others first. Any ideas as to what these grid-like patterns are? These features predate the 1931 aerial photos.

    Tornado Touchdown?

    Condemned?

    https://boydsmaps.com/#13.00/40.140083/-75.129123/historic62k/0.00/0.00 The target symbol is on what I believe to be the letter 'e'. Looks to me that it says "condemned." I found it curious. Thoughts?

    Mystery Canal and Historic Ground Water Levels

    https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.633764/-74.649551/midatlidar/0.00/0.00 I've been trying to figure out the purpose of this ditch for a number of years now. I paid a visit to the location this past weekend and came to some conclusions: The ditch predates the road going through it. The ditch...

    Not NJ, but pretty awesome. I've wanted to find some cannonballs on the bottom of our Pine Barrens rivers but haven't had luck yet.

    What is this symbol?

    https://online.boydsmaps.com/#18/39.64201/-74.66239/pines1949 Note the comb-like symbol just below the target. Must be a special kind of dam? I note that is appears at many, though certainly not all, dams. I see it on the 1942 and 1949 USGS topos, after which it just shows up as a straight line...

    Minnelola (Mineola) River

    In her colorful article, "Batsto and the Bloomaries", Carmita De Salma Jones states that the Mullica River was known to the Lenape as "Minnelola" (Little Water). Does anyone know of any other information that might vindicate this? The article can be read here...
