About this map

Little Egg Harbor and the intricate coastal wetlands of Ocean and Atlantic counties define this landscape, where the seafaring history of Tuckerton is visible through numerous maritime landings and landings. The map reveals a dense network of water-based infrastructure, including Scow Landing, West Tuckerton Landing, and Parkers Landing along the winding course of Tuckerton Creek. To the south, the industrial presence of the Fish Factory on the Seven Islands stands as a notable landmark amidst the marshes of Great Bay.

On the mainland, the Bass River State Forest borders established settlements like Giffordtown and Parkertown. The coastal barrier island shows early development at Beach Haven and Holgate, while interior sites like the Pulaski Monument and Greenwood Cem offer points of interest for local historians. This era captures the transition between traditional maritime commerce and the expansion of seasonal coastal communities along the Intracoastal Waterway.
