1955 Map of Stone Harbor

About this map

The coastal transition of Cape May County is meticulously documented here, showing the mainland seat of Cape May Court House linked to the barrier island community of Stone Harbor by a vast network of sounds and marshes. The inland settlements of Whitesboro, Burleigh, and Mayville follow the transit corridor defined by Seashore Road and the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines. Local institutions such as the Middle Township High Sch and St Stevens Ch anchor the community, while the Garden State Parkway cuts through the landscape with multiple interchanges including Interchange No 10. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the intricate waterways of Great Sound and Gull Island Thorofare, providing a detailed look at the complex maritime geography of Paddy Bar, Sturgeon Point, and Shellbed Landing before reaching the Atlantic coast.
