Contents

Albertson Brook is near Hammonton, New Jersey, and flows for 6.3 miles (10.1 km) [6] through Atlantic and Camden counties.

It has a drainage area of 17.1 square miles (44 km2), of which nearly half is forest land, and the rest is split between urban and agricultural uses, both of which have tended to pollute the brook in the past.

It is formed by the confluence of the Pump Branch and Blue Anchor Brook.
