About this map

The western shoreline of the Cape May peninsula meets Delaware Bay in this 2014 survey, revealing a landscape defined by small coastal hamlets and tidal marsh systems. A string of bayfront settlements, including Reeds Beach, Cooks Beach, and Kimbles Beach, sit at the ends of narrow access roads, while further south, more developed residential grids appear at Del Haven and Miami Beach. Inland, the commercial hub of Rio Grande is visible near the intersection of RT-47 and Shunpike RD, serving as a gateway to the broader coastal region.

Infrastructure like the Cape May County Airport and the smaller Paramount Air Airport highlight the area's transportation role, while natural features such as Fishing Creek Shoal and Fulling Mill Stream underscore the low-lying, water-dependent geography. For those studying local genealogy or land use, the map provides precise locations for smaller communities like Nummytown, Kimseytown, and Sally Marshall Crossing, preserving the distinct local identities of these Lower Township neighborhoods.
