2019 Map of Wildwood

About this map

Wildwood and its sister communities occupy the barrier islands of Cape May County, defined by a dense grid of residential streets and a complex network of coastal waterways. This 2019 survey captures the highly developed character of Five Mile Beach, where the urban landscape of North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest meets the edge of the Atlantic. The intricate system of salt marshes and channels to the west, including Grassy Sound Channel and Richardson Channel, illustrates the geography that separates these resort towns from the mainland. To the south, the map details the transition from the built environment at Diamond Beach toward the preserved sands of Two Mile Beach. Notable coastal features like Turtle Gut Shoals and the Cape May Inlet highlight the shifting maritime environment that governs the southern tip of the Jersey Shore.
