1953 Map of Toms River

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Toms River serves as the focal point of this coastal New Jersey landscape during a period of significant post-war infrastructure expansion. The Garden State Parkway is shown under construction or newly completed, slicing north-to-south through the Pinelands and intersecting the established routes of the Central RR of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania RR. Along the tidal waters of Silver Bay and Barnegat Bay, residential communities like Island Heights, Beachwood, and Ocean Gate are densely plotted, contrasting with the inland marshlands. A distinct local industry is visible in the numerous Cranberry Bogs scattered throughout the western sections near Double Trouble. Institutional landmarks are also prominent, including the riverside grounds of the Admiral Farragut Academy and the Pinehaven Sanitorium located near Crystal Lake in the southern reaches of Berkeley.
