The Pump Branch is a 7.7-mile-long (12.4 km) tributary of Albertson Brook in southern New Jersey in the United States.
The Pump Branch arises at Virginia Lake in Winslow, flows under and along the former Atlantic City Railroad main line to the hamlet of Cedar Brook, where it turns east and is dammed to form Hobb Lake, in the vicinity of Bates Mill. Just downstream is another series of dams and lakes, built for Camp Haluwasa. Passing through Ancora, it joins with Blue Anchor Brook to form Albertson Brook.
Famous quotes containing the words pump and/or branch:
“Vivacity, leadership, must be had, and we are not allowed to be nice in choosing. We must fetch the pump with dirty water, if clean cannot be had.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
