1989 Map of Atlantic City

About this map

Atlantic City and the neighboring shoreline of Ventnor City and Margate City are mapped here in high detail just as the casino era had firmly established its footprint. The famous Boardwalk stretches along the oceanfront, providing access to landmarks like the Steel Pier, Steeplechase Pier, and the Ocean One Shopping Mall. Inland, the complex geography of the Jersey Shore is revealed through the winding channels of Beach Thorofare and Inside Thorofare, which separate the primary barrier island from Chelsea Heights and Great Island. This survey captures the infrastructure of the late 1980s, including the Atlantic City Expressway terminus and the centrally located Muni Airport (Bader Field), offering a clear view of the urban grid before further modern redevelopment changed the skyline.
