About this map

The coastal environment of Atlantic County unfolds across this 2019 survey, centered on the complex salt marshes and barrier islands north of Brigantine. This maritime landscape is defined by a dense network of tidal channels known locally as thorofares, including Mile Thorofare, Cabbage Thorofare, and Weakfish Thorofare. These waterways separate low-lying land masses like Egg Island, Salt Island, and Pullen Island from the mainland, illustrating the dynamic hydrology of the Intracoastal Waterway as it passes through Great Bay.

Residential development is concentrated at the southern end of the map in the city of Brigantine and Brigantine Beach. The grid of streets, featuring thoroughfares such as E Brigantine Ave and W Shore Dr, abruptly meets the preserved wetlands. Further north, the landscape remains largely undeveloped, featuring landmarks like Baremore Quarters and the natural break of Brigantine Inlet, providing a clear view of the shifting sands and shoals that characterize the Jersey Shore.
