2016 Map of Atlantic City

About this map

The dense grid of Atlantic City sits atop a complex geography of tidal wetlands and thoroughfares, connected to the mainland via the Atlantic City Expressway and Absecon Blvd. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the barrier island, where the urban core transitions into established residential neighborhoods like Chelsea Heights and Ventnor Heights. The land is defined by a network of waterways including the Intracoastal Waterway and various passages such as Great Thorofare and Inside Thorofare, which separate the main island from Great Island and Shelter Island. Street-level detail is extensive, particularly in the northern reaches of the city where avenues named for states, such as N Indiana Ave and N Kentucky Ave, meet cross-streets like Adriatic Ave and Caspian Ave, showcasing the enduring 19th-century planning that still dictates the modern resort town.
