2011 Map of Long Beach NE

About this map

Long Beach occupies a thin strip of coastal land on this eastern New Jersey quadrangle, separating the vast Atlantic Ocean from the sheltered waters of Barnegat Bay. The map focuses primarily on the offshore maritime environment, but captures the northwestern tip of the barrier island at Barnegat, where the grid of local streets begins to take shape. Residential development is anchored along Bayview Ave, providing a detailed look at the interface between the shore and the bay in the early 21st century. The survey provides an essential perspective on the geography of this vulnerable coastline before major modern storm events altered the local landscape.
