About this map

Sea Isle City and the barrier islands of Cape May County are defined by a complex network of marshes, sounds, and inlets along the Atlantic Ocean. This map illustrates the relationship between mainland settlements like Seaville and Palermo and the coastal resort communities connected by the Intracoastal Waterway. The landscape is dominated by tidal waters, including Ludlam Bay and Townsend Sound, which isolate various islands such as Sedge Island and Gull Island.

Coastal geography is a primary focus, with Corson Inlet and Townsends Inlet marking the ends of the developed beachfront. Inland, the map captures established sites like Seaside Cemetery and Woodland Cemetery, along with smaller water bodies such as Magnolia Lake, which is contained by the Magnolia Lake Dam. The transition from mainland wooded areas near Cedar Springs to the dense street grids of the shore provides a detailed perspective on the region's early 21st-century development.
