1942 Map of Egg Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Egg Harbor City serves as the primary hub in this early 1940s survey of Atlantic and Burlington counties. The landscape is defined by the winding Mullica River and Batsto River, where historic industrial sites like Batsto and Pleasant Mills reflect the region's iron and glass-making heritage. A notable vestige of the First World War appears as an Abandoned World War Cantonment and the nearby Amotol Racetrack, signaling the transition of land use in the Pine Barrens. The area is heavily wooded, featuring the Green Bank State Forest and small settlements like Green Bank, Weekstown, and Elwood. Transportation is dominated by the Reading Seashore Lines and the Central RR of New Jersey, which connects the northern settlement of Atsion to the wider coastal network.
