About this map

Atlantic City serves as the focal point of this coastal study, illustrating the dense grid of streets and avenues that define the resort community as it appeared in the late 2010s. The map captures the complex geography of the barrier island and its back-bay surroundings, including the residential neighborhoods of Chelsea Heights and Ventnor Heights. Key civic and educational institutions, such as the Atlantic County Civil Courts Building and the Stockton University Atlantic City campus, are clearly documented alongside the major arterial routes like Absecon Blvd.

The landscape is dominated by the intricate network of tidal channels and lagoons that separate the mainland from the sea. Features like Beach Thorofare, Lakes Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway reveal the coastal engineering and natural waterways essential to the region's character. To the north, the proximity to Brigantine and the expansive Atlantic Ocean highlight the vulnerability and strategic location of these seaside municipalities.
