Cape May City and the surrounding coastal reaches of Cape May County are shown here in the late nineteenth century, long before modern beachfront development altered the landscape. The tip of the peninsula is defined by Cape May Point and the Cape May Light, anchoring a region of tidal marshes and intricate waterways including Jarvis Sound and Grassy Sound. The map captures the early rail-and-resort economy, with the Cape May and Sewells Point R.R. connecting to Sewell's Point.
