About this map

Seven Mile Beach and the borough of Avalon dominate the northern portion of this coastal survey, where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is defined by a dense grid of streets like Dune Dr and Avalon Ave bordered by a network of tidal channels and thoroughfares. To the west, the Intracoastal Waterway snakes through the marshlands, separating the barrier island from the mainland via Ingram Thorofare and Long Reach.

Infrastructure for maritime access and tourism is evident in the prominent Boardwalk and the bridge crossing at Townsends Inlet. The map reveals the intricate balance between developed residential blocks and the natural hydrology of the South Fork Oldman Creek. This 2011 edition captures the modern footprint of a Jersey Shore community defined by its proximity to both the open sea and the protected inland waterways.
