1989 Map of Barnegat Light

About this map

Island Beach State Park dominates the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where narrow bands of Sand Dunes separate the Atlantic Ocean from the quiet waters of Barnegat Bay. The landscape is a study in preservation and navigation, featuring the southern tip of the state park and the transition into Barnegat Inlet. To the south, the community of Barnegat Light is clearly mapped, showing the residential street grid alongside vital local landmarks such as the Fire Sta and Coast Guard Sta. The area's ecological character is defined by the Sedge Islands State Wildlife Management Areas, a complex of marshy Sedge Islands that break up the bay. Public access points like the Boat Ramp and Lookout points suggest a landscape used for both maritime industry and recreation. Historical navigation is anchored by the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, marking the critical junction for vessels entering the Intracoastal Waterway.
