1984 Map of Hammonton

About this map

The Pine Barrens and the Jersey Shore dominate this 1980s landscape, illustrating a region defined by extensive public lands and coastal marsh systems. Wharton State Forest and Lebanon State Forest cover a significant portion of the interior, preserving the characteristic pine-oak ecology of southern New Jersey. In the west, the growth of suburban centers like Mount Laurel and Cherry Hill contrasts with the preserved wildness of the Mullica River and Wading River drainages. To the east, the barrier islands of Island Beach and Long Beach Island frame Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor. This survey documents a critical period for conservation, showing the established boundaries of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge alongside major transportation corridors like the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway. Significant institutional landmarks are also noted, including Stockton State College and the Fort Dix Military Reservation northern boundary.
