1893 Map of Barnegat

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Barnegat Light stands at the southern edge of this late 19th-century survey, marking the vital inlet where the Atlantic Ocean meets the interior waters. The barrier island is punctuated by a series of Life Saving Stations, including L.S. Station Toms River and L.S. Station Island Beach, reflecting the era's reliance on shore-based maritime safety. Inland, the landscape is defined by the intersection of rail and river, as the Philadelphia and Long Branch Railroad (Penn R.R.) crosses Barnegat Bay to reach coastal settlements like Lavallette and Seaside Park. To the west, the winding paths of Toms River and Cedar Creek lead into timbered areas and small outposts like Double Trouble, illustrating the early industrial character of the Pine Barrens before its modern residential expansion.
