1951 Map of Long Beach NE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Barnegat Light stands at the northern tip of this barrier island segment, marking the critical junction between the open Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered waters of Barnegat Bay. This 1951 survey, with hydrography updated from mid-1930s coastal charts, provides a focused look at the maritime geography of Long Beach during the mid-century. Small developed pockets like Long Beach Park are visible, showing the early residential footprint before extensive modern expansion. The map is primarily characterized by its bathymetric detail, documenting depth curves and soundings that reveal the shifting shoals and underwater topography near Vol Sedge. It documents a specific moment in the evolution of the Jersey Shore's northern reaches, where the navigation of the inlet and the stability of the narrow land strip were of paramount importance to local mariners.
