USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Peck Beach and the coastal barrier islands define this mid-century portrait of the New Jersey shore, where the developed grids of Ocean City and Margate City face the intricate marshes of Great Egg Harbor Bay. This landscape is a complex network of tidal channels and thoroughfares, including Risley Channel and Broad Thorofare, separating the mainland from the sea. On the mainland, established communities like Somers Point, Linwood, and Northfield are connected by Shore Road and the early construction of the Garden State Parkway.
