1956 Map of Egg Harbor City

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines cuts a straight diagonal through the landscape, anchoring the development of Elwood and Egg Harbor City. This transportation corridor defined the mid-century industrial and residential expansion in Atlantic County, where the street grid of Egg Harbor City—marked by avenues named for international cities like Philadelphia Ave and Berlin Ave—contrasts with the surrounding pine forests. The map highlights a diverse local economy and infrastructure, from the Cranberry Bog near Makepeace Lake to the Amotol Race Track in the northwest. Educational and religious centers such as Buffalo Ave Sch and St Nicholas Sch serve the growing population centers, while smaller settlements like Devonshire and South Egg Harbor fill the spaces between the major rail stops and the Atlantic City Expressway.
