2019 Map of Sea Isle City

About this map

Sea Isle City and the barrier island communities of Cape May County are defined by an intricate network of tidal channels and salt marshes. The landscape is split between developed coastal strips like Ludlam Beach and the inland reaches of the Great Cedar Swamp. Along the coast, the Intracoastal Waterway threads through Ludlam Bay and Strathmere Bay, connecting the inlets that punctuate the shoreline. A Bascule Bridge provides a critical link to Strathmere, illustrating the engineering required to navigate this shifting amphibious environment. Further inland, older settlements like Seaville and Ocean View sit on higher ground, while Woodland Cem and Magnolia Lake mark the transition toward the swampy interior. This modern survey shows the established street grids of Ocean City and the southern tip of the quadrangle at Townsends Inlet, recording the density of mid-Atlantic coastal habitation adjacent to preserved wetlands like Sedge Island and Gull Island.
