1893 Map of Cape May

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Cape May Light stands at the tip of the peninsula in this late 19th-century study of the New Jersey coast. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of marshes and waterways like Jarvis Sound and Grassy Sound, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by barrier features such as Two Mile Beach and Poverty Beach. Inland, the geography reveals a transition from these tidal wetlands to the early developments of West Cape May and Bennett.
