1893 Map of Great Egg Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Mays Landing stands as a central hub in this late 19th-century survey of the New Jersey coast, where the Great Egg Harbor River snakes through dense marshlands toward the sea. The map reveals an intricate network of landings and small settlements, such as Wilson Landing, Thompsontown, and English Creek Landing, illustrating a riverside economy reliant on waterborne transport and local mills like Doughty Mill. To the east, the landscape transitions into the complex tidal geography of Lake Bay and Scull Bay, punctuated by maritime infrastructure including Life Saving Station (29) and a Fish Factory. The arrival of the modern era is marked by the intersecting routes of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and the West Jersey Railroad, which began to transform these traditional fishing and farming communities into the transit corridors of the early 20th century.
