Description

This map consists of 1977 aerial imagery from the Atlantic County Department of Regional Planning and County Office of GIS overlaid on the New Jersey 1977 Tidelands aerial imagery from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. In areas that are covered by both, the Atlantic County imagery is used. The 1977 tidelands aerials were filmed during 1977-78 to support the Tidelands Act (NJSA 12:3).

The basemap shown in the background consists of USGS 1:62500 scale topographic quads from the period 1942-1950, converted to grayscale. Three small areas with no imagery were filled with 1970 Atlantic County imagery.

This map is one of five historical aerial views of Atlantic County that boydsmaps published in April 2025. Normally, we don' publish maps of such small areas, but there are a number of historical details in this imagery that aren't available elsewhere. We would like to expand these maps to a larger area in the future, but have not found additional imagery sources yet.
