1948 Map of Toms River

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Toms River coastal region and the thin barrier of Island Beach define this mid-century portrait of Ocean County. This geography centers on the confluence of the river and Barnegat Bay, where the Pennsylvania RR crosses from Ocean Gate to the oceanfront settlements of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights. The landscape reveals a transition from the established borough of Toms River to the industrial presence of the New Jersey Pulverizing Co and the American Tel & Tel Co facilities along the coast. For family historians, the map identifies specific community landmarks like the Murray Grove Cemetery and the Cedar Crest Private School, alongside coastal points such as Barnegat City at the southern tip near the Barnegat Inlet.
