1942 Map of Tuckerton
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Little Egg Harbor and the intricate wetlands of the New Jersey coast define this early wartime survey, which details a landscape balanced between maritime activity and the deep Pine Barrens. The settlement of Tuckerton serves as the focal point, connected to the mainland's interior via the Tuckerton RR and surrounded by smaller communities like Giffordtown, Parkertown, and West Creek. The interior is heavily marked by industrial and conservation efforts, including the Cranberry Bogs near Sim Place and the expansive reaches of Penn State Forest and Bass River State Forest. Notable for local history is the presence of the Tuckerton Radio station near the coast and the numerous named sediment features like West Sedge and Middle Sedge that shift with the tides of the Inland Waterway.
