1888 Map of Little Egg Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Tuckerton serves as a central hub on the Jersey Shore in the late nineteenth century, situated where the Tuckerton Railroad meets the expansive coastal marshes. The landscape is a intricate network of waterways and low-lying islands, from the Great Bay to the salt meadows of Parker Cove. Along the coastline, maritime activity is anchored by the Little Egg Harbor Light and the L.S. Station on the barrier beach. Inland, the terrain transitions into the pine barrens, featuring the West Plains and East Plains. Early industry and settlement are evident at Stafford Forge and scattered hamlets like Manahawken and New Gretna. Rivers such as the Oswego River and Wading River flow through this sparsely populated interior, carving through the sands to reach the harbor.
