About this map

Ocean City occupies the northwest corner of this coastal survey, where the grid of a seaside community meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The map documents a small segment of the southern portion of the barrier island, showing the residential and commercial layout defined by Bay Ave, Asbury Ave, and Central Ave. These thoroughfares, intersected by 56th St, represent the primary footprint of human development in an area otherwise dominated by open water.

The boundary line between Cape May County and the open sea runs diagonally across the sheet, illustrating the maritime orientation of this New Jersey shore locale. Because the majority of the quadrangle covers the ocean, the map focuses intensely on the fine-grained street level of this specific neighborhood, making it a precise record for studying the late-twentieth-century urban fabric of the island.
