About this map

The coastal barrier islands and intricate marshlands of the Jersey Shore are meticulously detailed in this survey. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the street grid of Brigantine, where thoroughfares like W Brigantine Ave and Sheridan Blvd serve the community of Brigantine Beach. Just north of the developed areas, the landscape transitions into a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels including Mud Thorofare, Cabbage Thorofare, and Mile Thorofare.

Navigational routes and coastal landforms such as Brigantine Inlet and Little Egg Inlet highlight the dynamic nature of the Atlantic coastline. The presence of Baremore Quarters and the Intracoastal Waterway reflects the maritime heritage of Atlantic County, while numerous uninhabited islands like Elder Island and Pullen Island provide a clear view of the natural buffer zones protecting Little Bay and Great Bay from the open Atlantic Ocean.
