About this map

The eponymous Toms River winds eastward through a dense network of suburban developments before opening into the Barnegat Bay in this 2016 survey. This coastal landscape is characterized by its established residential communities, from the planned streets of Pine Lake Park in the northwest to the waterfront neighborhoods of Island Heights and Gilford Park. The Garden State Parkway serves as a major north-south artery, bisecting the region and separating the more developed town centers from the marshy environments and pine-lined tributaries to the west.

Along the southern reach, numerous small waterways like Wrangel Brook, Jakes Br, and Potter Creek drain toward the bay, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Jersey Shore. Notable local landmarks include Saint Joseph Cem and various named tracts such as Manitou Park and Cedar Grove, which reflect the mid-to-late 20th-century residential expansion of Ocean County. This record captures the region as a fully integrated coastal corridor, balancing suburban growth with its primary river and bay outlets.
