It is the common timber of the western border, and covers almost exclusively the central portion of the county of Cape May.

Above Salem, this breadthis from five to twelve miles, but below that town it is sometimes contracted to a mile, East of this strip of loam, and west of the marsh which girds the sea shore, lies an immense sandy plain, scarce broken by any inequality, and originally covered by a pine. And shrub-oak forest - a great portion of which has been once, and some of it twice, cut over. There are many square miles on which there is not a human inhabitant, and where the deer, foxes and rabbits are abundant. And the wolf and the bear find a lair to protect their race from extirpation. But in many places the echo is awakened by the woodman's axe, and the louder din of the forge hammer, and the forest glares with the light of the furnace or glass house. In this sandy desert there are found veins of onerous soil, which yield a compensatory crop of corn and rye to the labours of the husbandman.
