About this map

Wildwood and its neighboring beach communities are meticulously documented in this modern survey of the New Jersey shoreline. The grid-like street layout of Wildwood Crest and Wildwood Gables transitions into the coastal wetlands and maritime landscapes of Jarvis Sound and the Intercoastal Waterway. This area demonstrates a clear division between the densely developed tourist hubs and the preserved natural features of the coast, such as the numerous marshes including Mud Island, Shaw Island, and Ephraim Island.

The hydrography of the region is a central focus, showing the intricate relationship between the Atlantic Ocean and inland bodies like Sunset Lake and the Post Creek Basin. Notable landmarks such as the Cold Spring Harbor Dock near Diamond Beach highlight the maritime infrastructure essential to the area. Further offshore, the map identifies maritime hazards and coastal formations like Turtle Gut Shoals and the expansive sands of Five Mile Beach.
