About this map

Leeds Point and Oceanville anchor the inland portion of this coastal survey, where residential development meets the intricate marshlands of the Intracoastal Waterway. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tidal channels known locally as thorofares, including Sloop Thorofare, Cordery Thorofare, and Big Fish Thorofare. These waterways separate the mainland from islands like Shad Island and Mankiller Island, illustrating the complex geography of Reeds Bay and Grassy Bay.

On the mainland, neighborhoods such as Absecon Highlands and Conovertown are situated near Lily Lake and Mattix Run. To the southeast, the urbanized barrier island of Brigantine Beach is shown with its detailed street grid, while the State Marina and Forty-fourth Street Pier highlight the area's maritime focus. This map captures the modern balance between Atlantic County’s suburban expansion and its expansive salt marsh ecosystems.
