1893 Map of Barnegat

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

Barnegat Bay and the narrow barrier islands of the Jersey Shore dominate this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the pine-forested mainland, featuring settlements like Double Trouble and Good Luck, to the maritime economy of the coast. Life here centers on the water and the rails, with the Philadelphia and Long Branch Railroad crossing the bay to reach Seaside Park. Along the coast, a network of Life Saving Stations, including L.S. Station Island Beach and L.S. Station Cedar Creek, provides a critical safety net for Atlantic shipping. At the southern terminus, Barnegat Light stands guard over Barnegat Inlet. Inland, the Toms River and various branches of Cedar Creek and Oyster Creek carve through the townships of Berkeley and Lacey, supporting established communities such as Island Heights and Waretown.
