1952 Map of Tuckerton

About this map

The maritime economy and coastal geography of southern Ocean County are meticulously detailed on this mid-century survey. Tuckerton stands as a focal point, with its harbor access extending through Tuckerton Thorofare and historical landings like West Tuckerton Landing and Parkers Landing. The landscape is a complex network of marshes, sedges, and tidal channels, where features such as Drag Sedge, Hither Island, and Seven Islands define the navigation of Little Egg Harbor. Inland, the map captures the transition from the coastal wetlands to the pine barrens and forests of the Bass River State Forest. Local history is marked by landmarks such as the Pulaski Monument and the Greenwood Cem, while the industrial and service character of the era is represented by a Fish Factory and the Coast Guard Station (Ruins) near the southern tip of the barrier beach at Holgate.
