About this map

Delaware Bay defines the southern reach of this coastal landscape, where the tidal marshes of Cumberland and Cape May counties meet. The small inland settlements of Heislerville, Delmont, and Eldora are connected by a network of rural roads such as RT-47 and Hands Mill Rd, reflecting the historical agricultural and timber patterns of the region. The map shows an intricate system of coastal waterways including Dennis Cr, East Cr, and Roaring Ditch that weave through the wetlands toward the bay shore.

Water-based industry and local landmarks are evident at Hands Mill Pond and the curiously named Pickle Factory Pond. Along the coastline, remote access points like Thompsons Beach, Moores Beach, and Reeds Beach provide a look at the vulnerable shoreline communities of the early 21st century. The boundary between the two counties follows the winding course of West Cr before striking out across the open waters of the bay.
