About this map

Atlantic City and its legendary shoreline are documented here in the mid-1990s, showcasing the dense urban grid between the Boardwalk and the intricate back-bay waterways. The map illustrates a transitional era for the resort town, featuring the iconic Steel Pier, Steeplechase Pier, and the Ocean One Shopping Mall extending into the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of Bader Field and the Convention Hall highlights the city's role as a major regional hub for travel and events.

Residential expansion is visible in neighborhoods like Chelsea Heights and Ventnor Heights, which sit tucked behind the primary barrier island strip. Navigation and recreation are central to the landscape, with the Intracoastal Waterway threading through Beach Thorofare and Great Thorofare. From the historic Lighthouse near Absecon Inlet to the fishing piers of Margate City, this survey provides a precise record of the shoreline's built environment before the further redevelopment of the late 1990s.
