About this map

Smithville and Leeds Point anchor the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the transition from upland settlements to tidal salt marshes is sharply defined. The area is dominated by the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and the Absecon State Wildlife Management Areas, preserving a vast network of waterways including Reeds Bay and the intricate Sloop Thorofare.

Evidence of the local economy and community life appears in the Cranberry Bog near Moss Mill and the cluster of institutions in the south like the Emma C Attales Sch and St Philip Sch. The map tracks the developed corridors along the Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway, contrasting with the labyrinthine channels of Absecon Channel and Absecon Inlet that lead toward the edge of Atlantic City.
