About this map

Great Egg Harbor River and the Tuckahoe River dominate this coastal landscape, where the confluence of freshwater streams and the saltwater Great Egg Harbor Bay creates a complex network of marshes and tributaries. The map documents a maritime-oriented settlement pattern defined by numerous historical landings, including Scull Landing, Gibson Landing, and English Creek Landing. These points, along with Jeffers Landing and Mosquito Landing, indicate the enduring importance of river access for commerce and transport in this part of Atlantic County.

South of the river junction, the Lester G Manamara Wildlife Area protects vast wetlands like the Cedar Hammocks and Tuckahoe River Island. Human engineering is evident at the Tuckahoe Dam, which creates Tuckahoe Lake near Middletown, and the English Creek Pond Dam to the north. Established communities such as Marmora, Petersburg, and Beesleys Point serve as anchors along the road network leading toward the Peck Bay coastline.
