Patt,
Take a look at this post from Jerseyman:
http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/franks-ford-tub-mill-and-amatol.4243/#post-43179
did read the post from jerseyman before i wrote mine. the dam we found was back in the woods and i don't think it is where he was. this dam was up from the river and there was a small stream there. we have a topo map of the area and it shows a tub mill branch rd. we were not on that road. we walked in off of the road that leads to harrisville. the road we were on can't be driven on.
Click the NJPB Live Maps link at the top of the page, it will take you here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/
To post a link to a spot on the map, first choose the map you want by clicking one of the buttons at the top, then zoom way in and drag the map until the spot is in the middle of your screen. Then copy the URL from the address bar in your browser and paste it into your post.
For example, this link should show Stafford Forge on a USGS topo: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.66739138012892&lng=-74.31872248649597&z=15&type=topo&gpx=

Just remember that once you drop the pointer and then drag the map, the link you post will not be in the proper spot. So it is best to make your final decision on where you want the pointer to be, drop it, and then copy the link.
Also, the pointer is stored at Batsto, so as you move to Harrisville take the pointer with you.

Same here. I suspect she is not getting the proper responses because she has not used Live Maps. I have been in that area looking for stones but did not explore in detail. As Turtle said it is private property and Jessica and I were very cautious. We could hear the campground action in the distance.

Patt, the whole reason we gave you information about the Live Maps is so that you could post a link to show us what you're talking about....

ok i think i figured out how to use the live map. please bear with me, have ever used one. you will see on the map a little black line. we are pretty sure that is the dam. we weren't near the campground though. my husband is from that area and said we weren't near the campgrounds. absolutely beautiful area on the river there. saw lots of ducks and a few swans.

Patt,
I think that the dam you found was built almost a hundred years ago by a feller by the name of John Zurn. If you have a copy of Heart of the Pines by John Pearce, turn to page 694.
thanks pinelandpaddler for the info. do not have that book but will look into getting it. we did notice on our topos that there was another marking down a little from the one we were at that could also be a dam. hopefully turtle will be able to give me some more facts also. thanks again for putting up with me trying to figure out the live maps.
