1948 Map of Long Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Long Beach island stretches across this mid-century survey, a slender barrier of sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate wetlands of Barnegat Bay. The map documents a sequence of early shore communities connected by the long spine of the coastal road, from Barnegat City at the northern tip down through Harvey Cedars and Surf City to the more densely settled Beach Haven. A notable technical landmark of the era is the American Telephone and Telegraph Co Transatlantic Receiver located inland near Manahawkin Road. The tidal landscape is meticulously detailed, showing the complex network of sedges and islands like Carvel I and Marsh Elder I. On the mainland, the Public Shooting Grounds and small settlements like Beach View reflect the area's dual character as both a residential retreat and a center for coastal sporting life.
