Bullock is a small, quiet place in the middle of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's not an official town or city with its own government. Instead, it's part of two larger areas.
Bullock is special because it sits right on the border of two different counties: Burlington County and Ocean County. It's also split between two townships: Woodland Township and Manchester Township.
Exploring Bullock's Location
Bullock is found deep within the unique Pine Barrens. This is a large, sandy forest area in southern New Jersey. Much of the land around Bullock is part of the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest. This means there are lots of trees and natural spaces.
Homes in the Forest
Even though much of the area is forest, you can find some small clearings. These are where a few houses are built. You'll see them along roads like Savoy Boulevard in Woodland Township. More homes are located on Pasadena Road in Manchester Township.
Where Roads and Borders Meet
Bullock is located at a very specific spot. It's where two important roads, Savoy Boulevard and Pasadena Road, come together. A railway line, the New Jersey Southern Railroad, also crosses through here. Plus, the "Keith line," which is the border between Burlington and Ocean counties, runs right through Bullock. This makes it a unique place where different paths and boundaries meet.
