1994 Map of Marmora

About this map

Great Egg Harbor and the Tuckahoe River dominate this coastal survey, where the boundary between Atlantic and Cape May counties follows the winding channels of the salt marsh. The landscape is a transition from established residential clusters like Beesleys Point and Marmora to the sprawling wetlands protected within the Lester G Macnamara State Wildlife Management Area. Development is concentrated along the Garden State Parkway corridor, yet the map preserves numerous small landings and family-named landmarks such as Scull Landing, Gibson Landing, and Jeffers Landing. Inland, the terrain rises slightly into woodland and fields, marked by local institutions including Palestine Church, Wesley Church, and the Seaside Cemetery. The presence of gravel pits and a powerplant near the bay indicates the local industrial activity supporting this coastal region in the late twentieth century.
