Development off of Dover Road, just west of Bamber Lake...

[JRogers71]

Hi all,
Looking at google earth , just a little west on Dover road if you zoom in there can be seen a street grid with named streets . Is this for real? This is an amazing part of the pine barrens, I hope we're not going to see it developed and decimated.
Thanks in advance for any information.

That is owned by the state so you have no worries of it being developed. If you want to see what was really planned for that area, check out the Live Maps from the site you are currently on which shows you even more. See below link. Ben's maps are awesome! Scroll around a little also and you will see your location. All of these lots are tax lots, most of them outdated but certainly nice at times to have. Trust me on that

I would recommend that you use the maps at the above link and skip Google. Play with the different years at the top

Wow! I was under the impression that the state stopped development in this area because of the aquifer , the relatively pristine water . Thanks for the information, this is the best website.

Most of those lots are not new, they are from many years ago. In any event, there were plans to develop as we can see.

Gotcha, I had seen that grid in the past but recently Pacesetter realty but a little icon in it on google earth. When I saw that I said , Oh No!
