1956 Map of Dorothy

About this map

Dorothy serves as a primary hub for this mid-century portrait of Atlantic County, defined by a distinct grid of residential avenues and the passage of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. The area's social and community structure is evident in the cluster of institutions like Community Ch Cem and the Estell Manor Sch. The landscape transitions from these organized settlements into the denser wooded reaches of the Weymouth and Hamilton districts, where local industry left its mark through several Gravel Pits and the historic site of Walkers Forge near the Great Egg Harbor River.
