Not quite sure where this is. On Vermeule's topo (~1870-1880) there is "Buffins Brook" with
a bog shown at the southeast end.

The Cook Topo (~1880-1890) shows it a little better

If you look at the newer topo's, the name changes to "Baffin Brook". But I don't see where it meets Pasadena Rd, unless I'm looking at the wrong brook or road. :)
Baffin Brook may have originally started in the area where the bogs are now or just across Pasadena Rd. just below the big sand pit. It travels through the woods toward the Upton area (you can see an old bog in the 1930 aerials). The next time I am at Whitesbog I'll ask if we have anything in the archives.
