2011 Map of Ocean City

About this map

Ocean City and its neighboring coastal communities define this 2011 survey, showing the intricate relationship between the barrier island resorts and the mainland. The landscape is a complex network of salt marshes and tidal channels, where the Intracoastal Waterway winds through Scull Bay and Peck Bay to reach the Great Egg Harbor Inlet. On the mainland, established settlements like Linwood, Somers Point, and Northfield are separated from the Atlantic by an expansive mosaic of landforms, including Cowpens Island and the Rainbow Islands. The map detail highlights the region's leisure and transport infrastructure, from the iconic Boardwalk and the Ocean City Municipal Airport to the Garden State Parkway corridor. This era's footprint is visible in the dense residential street grids that press against the wetland margins of Bargaintown Pond and Patcong Creek.
