2014 Map of Forked River

About this map

Lanoka Harbor and Forked River anchor this coastal landscape along the western shore of Barnegat Bay. The settlement pattern reflects a dense network of lagoon-front residential developments such as Riviera on the Barnegat and Sunrise Beach, where fingers of land extend into the bay's tidal waters. Further inland, the Garden State Parkway cuts a vertical path through the terrain, separating the developed shore from the more wooded interior. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, documenting several historic sites including Good Luck Cem near Murray Grove and the Friends Meeting Cem further south. The hydrography is equally complex, featuring the distinct branches of the river system like the Middle Br Forked River and protected waterways like the Intracoastal Waterway passing behind High Bar Island.
