1955 Map of Stone Harbor

About this map

Cape May Court House serves as the inland anchor for this coastal survey, which documents the mid-century infrastructure of the Jersey Shore. The Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines provides a backbone of rail transit through settlements like Mayville, Burleigh, and Whitesboro, while the newly introduced Garden State Parkway signals the shift toward modern automotive travel. The map captures a complex maritime landscape of thoroughfares and sounds, where landings such as Bennys Landing and Shellbed Landing dot the inner marshes behind the developed barrier islands of Stone Harbor and North Wildwood.
