1919 Map of Barnegat

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Barnegat Bay dominates this coastal survey, serving as the central artery for a region defined by its maritime and rail connections. The Barnegat Light stands at the southern tip near Barnegat Inlet, a critical navigational landmark for the era's coastal traffic. On the mainland, the Toms River and Waretown Branch of New Jersey Southern Railroad and the Tuckerton Railroad trace the shoreline, linking small shore communities like Bayville, Forked River, and Waretown. On the thin barrier island, a string of Life Saving Stations, including L.S. Station Island Beach and L.S. Station Cedar Creek, highlights the period's focus on maritime safety. Further inland, the curious label of Double Trouble sits near the headwaters of Cedar Creek, hinting at the complex cedar swamp hydrology that characterizes the Pine Barrens' edge before it meets the salt marshes of the bay.
