About this map

Cohansey River flows into the Delaware Bay at the western edge of this coastal survey, defining a landscape dominated by expansive salt marshes and winding tidal creeks. Small settlements and landing points like Loyds Corner and Husted Landing provide the only significant footing in a terrain largely partitioned by points and necks of land. Significant maritime markers include Cohansey Outer Light and the Intracostal Waterway which cuts through the bay waters to the southwest.

The intricate network of waterways, including Abbot Creek, Bridges Sticks Creek, and Old Hatch Creek, illustrates the complex drainage of the Fairfield Township wetlands. Isolated landmarks like Halka Nurseries Airport and the coastal reach of Ben Davis Point stand out against the soft-ground terrain of Sayres Neck and Back Neck. This map documents the persistent geography of the New Jersey shoreline, where land and water merge through features like Ragged Island and the shallow Ben Davis Point Shoal.
