About this map

The salt marshes and coastal barrier islands of New Jersey are meticulously detailed in this survey of the northern reaches of Brigantine. The landscape is dominated by the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, which spans a complex network of coastal channels including Salt Island Thorofare, Great Thorofare, and Simkins Thorofare. These waterways create a labyrinthine geography of islands such as Dog Island and Pullen Island before meeting the open Atlantic Ocean at Brigantine Inlet.

On the southern end of the sheet, the northern residential streets of Brigantine are visible, featuring local landmarks like the Brigantine North Sch and the 14th Street Pier. Further north, the isolated Baremore Quarters stands as a point of interest amidst the expansive protected lands of the Absecon Wildlife Management Area. The inclusion of the Intracoastal Waterway through Little Bay highlights the essential transit corridor that has long supported coastal commerce and recreation in this part of Atlantic County.
