That's because the maps are off from each other about 50 ft. Take a look at this corner of Rockwood and see how it shifts about 50 ft to the south-west:

I remember when I was first introduced to Westcoat bogs. I began looking at the aerials to see if PBX could explore that area where all the water is coming from, and it got so tangled in my mind that I gave up, because in looking at the aerials you are never sure where the water would be running through in a given month. Plus, I knew if I announced a trip there, it would be soundly rejected by the crew.
However, it never went beyond this bit of land. Just likely a way to get out there and hunt from the margin?
I was there on 9/5. I did not notice anything special. But I was looking for other things.
I traveled to Rockwood Road today and had to park a half mile away because the road was flooded as I expected. I probably could have made it all the way but I have decided to not do that anymore.
Anyway, I visited the location in Bob's photo here.
The dugout is there and easy to see but I doubt there was a bridge there. They most likely could drive right through it. It is only 6 inches deep.
This is where the dugout section starts. It was tough getting through there.
And the water. It looks worse than it really is.
Someone sawed a tree down nearby. It may have been a hunter opening up his view.
There's a very similar looking building at 39.665657, -74.664018. Fairly identical. I was hoping to go check this out soon but I broke my big toe and am sidelined for the next several weeks.
We visited that on a PBX hike. Not an easy one to get to. I have a video somewhere. I will look for it.
