Barnegat Light stands at the northern tip of Long Beach Island, where the narrow coastal barrier meets the inlet. This modern topographic survey highlights the late-era development of the northern shore, where Long Beach and its surrounding residential infrastructure sit between the Atlantic Ocean and the marshes of Barnegat Bay. The map reveals a densely gridded residential layout, with prominent thoroughfares like Long Beach Blvd and Central Ave serving as the spine of the community. In the bay, the salt marshes of Vol Sedge represent the tidewater landscape that has long defined the interior of the Jersey Shore. Public spaces like Long Beach Park are preserved among the coastal blocks, showing how the 21st-century shoreline balances high-density housing with public access.
