1953 Map of Seaside Park

About this map

Barnegat Bay separates the mainland from a densely developed barrier island in this mid-century topographic study. The narrow strip of land is home to a continuous string of shore communities including Chadwick, Lavallette, and Seaside Heights, where the grid-like street patterns are bordered by a prominent Boardwalk facing the Atlantic Ocean. Connectivity to the mainland is anchored by the Thomas A Mathis Bridge, which crosses Pelican Island to reach the western shores of Toms River.
