2014 Map of Toms River

About this map

Toms River serves as the focal point of this coastal New Jersey landscape, winding past numerous residential developments toward Barnegat Bay. The mid-2010s geography is defined by a dense network of suburban estates and manors, including Manitou Park, Wintringham Park, and Gilford Park, which showcase the region's late-century residential growth. The transportation corridor of the Garden State Pky and Us-9 bisects the region, connecting the waterfront communities with the inland pine forests. To the south, the terrain transitions into the more open, wetland-rich areas surrounding Jakes Br and Wrangel Brook, where the Central Water Pollution Control Facility marks a significant piece of local infrastructure. Historical continuity is preserved at sites like Saint Joseph Cem and Riverside Cem, while many named developments like Island Beach Heights and Cedar Grove occupy the land between the river and the bay.
