About this map

Tuckerton and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Little Egg Harbor are defined by a complex network of tidewater channels and maritime industry in the mid-20th century. The settlement pattern clusters along the shoreline and inland creeks, with established sites like Giffordtown, Nugentown, and West Tuckerton shown before modern suburban expansion. A significant local economy is evidenced by the numerous Cranberry Bogs near Mill Branch and a prominent Fish Factory located on the Seven Islands.

Maritime infrastructure is dense throughout the wetlands, featuring specialized sites such as Scow Landing, West Tuckerton Landing, and Parkers Landing. On the barrier island, Beach Haven and Holgate front the Atlantic Ocean, while the interior marshes are dotted with named landforms like Story Island and Hither Island. Cultural landmarks including the Pulaski Monument and Greenwood Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the heritage of Ocean and Atlantic counties.
