1956 Map of Egg Harbor City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Egg Harbor City anchors this mid-century topographic portrait, showcasing a highly structured urban grid that contrasts sharply with the surrounding pine barrens. The town's layout, characterized by wide thoroughfares like Philadelphia Avenue and Hamburg Avenue, reflects its planned origins, while the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines cuts a straight diagonal through the landscape, linking settlements from Elwood to Devonshire. This rail corridor served as the industrial and social spine of the region, facilitating the movement of people and goods through the Atlantic County interior.
