1948 Map of Toms River

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Barnegat Bay separates the mainland settlements of Toms River and Waretown from the narrow barrier island communities of Seaside Heights and Lavallette during the mid-1940s. The landscape reflects a mix of resort development and industrial operations, such as the New Jersey Pulverizing Co and the extensive Pennsylvania RR network that linked these coastal towns. Inland, the pine forests are marked by social and medical institutions including the Royal Pines Hospital and the Cedar Crest Private School. Cultural and historical continuity is evident in the presence of the Murray Grove Cemetery and the Friends Meeting Cemetery near Barnegat. The iconic Barnegat Light stands at the southern tip of the barrier beach, guarding the Barnegat Inlet and the complex salt marshes of the Sedge Islands.
