                    By 1872, Willow Road had been laid out between Carterette Road and the road to Snedens Landing. The road was laid out along the northern boundary of the Samuel Beasley property, formerly the 2nd Jacob Conklin property. Considering the lay of the land, there likely had been a track between the 2nd Jacob Conklin property and the property to the north, briefly owned by Daniel Haring. The property lines adjoining Willow Road ran to the center of the road.
