About this map

Toms River and its surrounding coastal communities are captured here in the mid-1990s, showcasing a landscape defined by the intersection of the Garden State Parkway and the sprawling waterways of Barnegat Bay. The map highlights the area's transition from the dense residential developments of Oak Ridge Estates and Silver Ridge Park to the preserved natural wetlands and Cranberry Bogs found within Double Trouble State Park.

Institutional landmarks like the Admiral Farragut Academy and Community Mem Hosp anchor the developed areas, while the numerous Gravel Pits in Berkeley reflect the local extractive industry that once shaped this portion of the Shore. From the narrow streets of Island Heights to the newer subdivisions of Bayville and Holly Park, the map provides a clear record of suburban growth and the preservation of coastal resources like Cattus Island County Park.
