1893 Map of Little Egg Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Tuckerton Railroad lines and coastal waterways define this late-nineteenth-century landscape of the Jersey Shore and Pine Barrens. The survey captures a network of small mill-towns and forge settlements, including Stafford Forge and Cedar Run, linked by rail and river transport. To the south, the expansive waters of Great Bay and Little Egg Harbor are dotted with sedges and islands like Goodluck Island and Mordecai Island, indicating a maritime economy reliant on the complex inlets of the Mullica River. Inland, the terrain transitions into the sandy Plains, where isolated outposts like Munion Field and Penn Place sit along the upper reaches of the Wading River and Oswego River. The presence of the Little Egg Harbor Light and multiple L.S. Stations along the outer barrier beach highlights the critical importance of coastal navigation and lifesaving during this era.
