1953 Map of Toms River

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The tidal waters of Toms River and Barnegat Bay define this mid-century portrait of coastal New Jersey, where established maritime communities meet the rapid expansion of the post-war era. The map documents a diverse local landscape, from the educational grounds of Admiral Farragut Academy and the recreational fairways of the Cranmoor Country Club to the industrial presence of the Central RR of New Jersey. Extensive purple revisions from 1970 illustrate the significant suburban growth spreading through Beachwood, Pine Beach, and Dover. To the south and west, the terrain remains less developed, marked by the namesake Cranberry Bogs and the curiously named Double Trouble settlement along Cedar Creek. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme, highlighting the corridor of the Garden State Parkway as it cuts through the landscape near South Toms River.
