Tell me where I am (in Dividing Creek)

Hello,
I'm hoping someone could clear some things up for me...
When you take Maple Avenue (off of Main St.) and you get to the water (smaller body of water to your right and the larger one to your left), what is that area called? Does it even have a specific name other than Dividing Creek?
Also, is Turkey Point that area (if you continue down maple ave.) where the road comes to and end and there is a big wooden bridge?
And one more (possibly dumb) question: I have heard of people talk about Maple Pond- when I have been out crabbing in the larger side of Maple Ave., I have seen signs that say Maple Pond. I guess that is the area people refer to, right?
Oh, one more thing: when you check online for the tides for this area of dividng creek, what is the name of the area you check for? I have seen Dividing Creek entrance and Weir Street Bridge...which one is it and where are these places at exactly?
Thanks for the help!

First area you describe, small water right/big left, is Maple Pond. Also the big whirlpool. People HAVE got sucked in there and drowned. Dont go near it. Big wooden arch bridge is Turkey Point. Wier Creek is the bridge/creek you go over "just" before Turkey Point. That would be good enough for tides.

Thanks OTH...now I finally know.
Never heard of that whirlpool...I will keep an eye out for it- I don't want to get sucked in. Do you think there are any crabs in there though?
Thanks again for taking the time to help me out!

Yes, there are PLENTY there. I've done good on either side. The right side is much harder bottom, and usually has water. The left is your normal marsh area. Water leaves, and knee deep mud. There are crabs there though. A lot of the guys here know that area.

Ha...I meant are there crabs in the whirlpool...I was (unsucessfully) making a joke
. That's why I put the winking face next to it.
But thanks for the additional info on the area!

Dividing creek..I know the area. I have a summer home in Fortescue. Turkey point is easy to find use your NJ points of interest signs and follow the street sign. (Turkey Point) If you like to crab that area, (on foot) use heavy weights in your traps, the tides do run strong. It is an excellent spot for watching birds and other wildlife too.
