About this map

The Cumberland and Cape May county line bisects this coastal survey of the Delaware Bay shoreline, where low-lying salt marshes and tidal creeks meet inland pine forests. Small settlements like Heislerville, Delmont, and Eldora anchor the terrestrial landscape, connected by historic thoroughfares such as N Delsea Dr and Schoolhouse Ln. The transition from water to land is marked by several named shorelines, including Thompsons Beach, Moores Beach, and Reeds Beach, which illustrate the region's exposure to the shifting tides of the bay.

Further inland, the map details a unique hydrological network characterized by ponds and winding waterways. Features like Pickle Factory Pond, Hands Mill Pond, and East Creek Pond suggest a history of local water management and early industry. Large tracts of marshland are articulated by names like Stipson Island and Roaring Ditch, providing a detailed look at the complex drainage patterns of East Creek and Dennis Creek before they reach the bay.
