2014 Map of Atlantic City

About this map

Atlantic City and the neighboring Ventnor City occupy the northern end of the barrier island, characterized by an intensive urban grid defined by Arctic Ave, Atlantic Ave, and Pacific Ave. The 2014 survey documents the dense shoreline development and its famous amusement piers extending into the Atlantic Ocean, including the Steel Pier, Central Pier, and the Million Dollar Pier. To the west, the landscape transitions into the tidal complex of Lakes Bay and Great Island, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads through a network of tidal channels known as thorofares. Residential expansion is visible in the satellite-style settlements of Chelsea Heights and Ventnor Heights, which are separated from the main island by the Inside Thorofare. The map also captures the transport corridors of the Atlantic City Expy and Absecon Blvd connecting the mainland at West Atlantic City to the coastal resorts.
