2019 Map of Ocean City

About this map

Ocean City and the surrounding coastal communities of Atlantic County are defined by a complex network of coastal waterways and barrier islands. This 2019 survey captures the developed shorelines from Margate City and Longport in the north across the Great Egg Harbor Inlet to the residential streets of Ocean City. Inland, the map details established settlements like Bargaintown, Linwood, and Somers Point, where the Garden State Pkwy crosses Patcong Creek. The landscape is a mosaic of salt marshes and tidal channels, including Scull Bay and Sod Thorofare, which isolate numerous islands such as Lone Cedar Island and the Rainbow Islands. Transportation history is evident in the layout of the Boardwalk and the proximity of the Ocean City Municipal Airport to the Intracoastal Waterway, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a premier mid-Atlantic maritime and resort hub.
