Barnegat Bay dominates this coastal survey, appearing just before the 20th century as a complex landscape of salt marshes, barrier islands, and emerging rail depots. The Philadelphia and Long Branch Railroad (Penn. R.R.) crosses the bay to reach the thin strip of land at Seaside Park, connecting the mainland to the Atlantic shore. Inland, the pine forests and cedar swamps are punctuated by uniquely named settlements like Double Trouble and Good Luck, while the mouth of Toms River shows established communities like Island Heights.
