1888 Map of Barnegat

About this map

Barnegat Light stands as a sentinel at the southern mouth of Barnegat Bay, guarding the inlet during this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the narrow barrier beach where life-saving stations, including L.S. Station Island Beach and L.S. Station Chadwick's, provide a critical safety net for coastal mariners. On the mainland, the Toms River and Waretown Branch of New Jersey Southern Railroad and the Tuckerton Railroad trace the shore, linking old coastal settlements like Waretown and Forked River to the growing industrial world.
