2023 Map of Tuckerton

About this map

Tuckerton and the surrounding marshlands of the Little Egg Harbor define this coastal landscape, where the intricate network of tidal channels and sedges meets the mainland. This modern survey illustrates the complex geography of the Jersey Shore, featuring the developed residential canals of Mystic Island and the traditional waterfronts of Scow Landing and West Tuckerton Landing. The mainland settlements, including Parkertown, Nugentown, and Giffordtown, are concentrated along the historical corridor of Co Rd 539 and W Main St, while the barrier island communities of Beach Haven and Holgate stand exposed to the Atlantic. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Greenwood Cem and the edge of the Bass River State Forest, while the interior marshes are marked by family-named features like Johnny Sedge and Hester Sedge, indicating the long-standing human presence in these wetlands.
