1989 Map of Marmora

About this map

The Great Egg Harbor River and the Tuckahoe River converge in this coastal landscape, defining a network of tidal flats and marshlands dominated by the Lester G Macnamara State Wildlife Management Area. The map illustrates the transition from the upland woods of Atlantic County to the estuaries of Cape May County. Inland settlements like Petersburg and Marmora are connected by local routes such as Tuckahoe Road, while the Garden State Parkway serves as a modern corridor cutting through the eastern edge toward Beesleys Point. Local history is preserved in the placement of the Seaside Cem and several community landmarks including Asbury Ch and Palestine Ch. The landscape is dotted with evidence of local resource extraction, such as multiple Gravel Pits, and maritime access points like English Creek Landing and the Gibson Landing Boat Ramp.
