1948 Map of Toms River

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Island Beach and the barrier islands of the Jersey Shore appear here as they were just after World War II, showing a landscape defined by maritime commerce and early coastal development. The Toms River flows eastward, passing through Toms River, South Toms River, and Island Heights before opening into Barnegat Bay. Along the mainland, industrial activity is visible at the New Jersey Pulverizing Co, while the interior remains characterized by numerous water branches like Wrangel Brook and Factory Branch. On the coast, the thin strip of land from Chadwick south to Barnegat Inlet is dotted with Coast Guard stations such as Forked River C G 112 and the iconic Barnegat Light C G 113. Long-standing community institutions, including the Murray Grove Cemetery and Friends Meeting Cemetery, provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians studying the families of Ocean County.
