Cape May Court House serves as the inland anchor of this coastal landscape, situated west of the extensive salt marshes and tidal channels that separate the mainland from the barrier islands. The map details a complex network of waterways, including Jenkins Sound, Grassy Sound, and the Intracoastal Waterway, which define the geography between the mainland and Seven Mile Beach. On the coast, the planned grids of Stone Harbor and Avalon show the highly developed nature of the Atlantic frontage, while the interior reveals smaller communities like Mayville, Burleigh, and Whitesboro. Significant local landmarks like the Cape May County Courthouse and the Cape May County Veteran's Cem provide important reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of this Jersey Shore region.
