2011 Map of Dorothy

About this map

Dorothy and the surrounding pine barrens region of Atlantic County are defined by a geometric grid of ambitious street names that often outpace the density of the settlements themselves. In the northern reaches, the area near Mizpah and Gigantic City features a dense network of avenues named for major American cities like Seattle Ave and Mobile Ave, reflecting early 20th-century land speculation and development patterns. The landscape is deeply influenced by the waterways of the Great Egg Harbor River system, with the South River and Stephen Creek cutting through the low-lying terrain. To the east, the map documents industrial and recreational history at Walkers Forge and the Atlantic City Girl Scout Camp. Notable landmarks like Maple Lake Dam and the small residential pockets of Milmay and Richland provide a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban transition in southern New Jersey as it stood in 2011.
