2011 Map of Heislerville

About this map

The salt marshes and tidal wetlands of Cape May County dominate this coastal landscape along the Delaware Bay. The small inland settlements of Heislerville, Delmont, and Eldora serve as anchors for the local road network, which reaches out toward the shoreline at Thompsons Beach and Moores Beach. A complex system of waterways, including West Creek and East Creek, drains the low-lying terrain, where historical land use is suggested by names like Pickle Factory Pond and Hands Mill Pond. The interior is marked by the sprawling grounds of the Leesburg State Prison and significant hydrological features such as the Victory Lakes Dam Number One. This environment reflects the transition between the agricultural upland and the ecologically diverse marshes of the bay shore, punctuated by isolated high ground like Stipson Island.
