Other

All buildings in LBI have been mapped, although very few have addresses, except the retail buildings in Beach Haven. Someday, a statewide import of NJ open address data may happen.

Few businesses are mapped on the island. Only in Beach Haven are they mapped in detail. There are some in Ship Bottom, Surf City, and Barnegat Light.

The imported PGS coastline and land use on LBI has been completely fixed and improved. This was a long, manual process.
