Barnegat Light stands at the northern tip of Long Beach Island, marking the threshold between the Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered waters of Barnegat Bay. This 2014 survey captures the coastal geography of a narrow barrier beach strip, where the local street grid is defined by Long Beach Blvd, Bayview Ave, and Central Ave. The map highlights the proximity of the residential settlement at Long Beach Park to the fragile wetlands of Vol Sedge, illustrating the delicate balance of habitation on this exposed Jersey Shore landscape. Most of the quadrangle is occupied by the open ocean, emphasizing the isolation of the northern island communities and the maritime orientation of Long Beach.
