2011 Map of Egg Harbor City

About this map

Egg Harbor City anchors this portion of Atlantic County, appearing as a developed grid of streets punctuated by its southern extensions at South Egg Harbor and West Egg Harbor. The landscape is defined by the transition from structured town planning to the dense riparian networks of the Pine Barrens, with Landing Creek and Indian Cabin Creek threading through the territory. To the northwest, the settlement of Elwood and the smaller cluster at Magnolia sit along the primary rail and road corridors that have historically connected the region to the coast. Cultural and historical landmarks are scattered throughout the surrounding woods, including Laurel Hill Cemetery and the Amotol Race Track. The presence of Makepeace Lake and numerous small ponds like Big Goose Pond illustrates the area's characteristic hydrology, where low-lying basins and meandering branches like Watering Race Branch shape the rural development patterns of places like Carmantown.
