About this map

Sea Isle City and the neighboring barrier island community of Strathmere are defined by an intricate network of tidal channels and back-bay marshes. This 2023 survey records the modern footprint of the Jersey Shore, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads through Ludlam Bay and Townsend Sound. The coastal landscape is broken by significant breaches like Corson Inlet and Townsends Inlet, which separate the barrier islands and dictate the flow of the Main Channel.

Inland, the terrain transitions to the agricultural and wooded surroundings of Palermo and Seaville. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as Woodland Cem and the vast Great Cedar Swamp. The map details the transition from the densely developed grid of Sea Isle City to the more open spaces of Maple Swamp and Cedar Springs, illustrating the enduring balance between resort development and the preservation of the Cape May wetlands.
