Talk:Ocean Drive (New Jersey)

Official Rand McNally map

I came across an Ocean Drive map from Rand McNally, posted to Flickr. Here are links to the scans of the map:

• Front cover
• Part 1 - Ocean City to Atlantic City
• Part 2 - Strathmere to Stone Harbor
• Part 3 - Stone Harbor to Cape May Point
• Details of Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, The Wildwoods, and Cape May
• Details of Atlantic City and Ocean City
• Map info

Reroute

I have two pictures clearly showing Ocean Drive signed along US 9 near the Cape May-Lewes Ferry... suggesting the old Rand McNally routing may not be current. Does anyone have photos or links to Google imagery showing it signed along its entire routing described here? I didn't see any signage for it in Cape May Point but I might've missed it.

The Rand McNally map from 1950 is likely outdated as the signage suggests that from CR 621, Ocean Drive follows NJ 109 and US 9 to the ferry. Also, Ocean Drive is not signed in Atlantic County as the signage and branding for the road is carried out by Cape May County. Therefore, the current routing of Ocean Drive based on today's signage would have the route begin at its southern terminus at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and follow US 9, NJ 109, CR 621, NJ 147, CR 619, CR 623, and CR 656 north to its northern terminus at NJ 152 just north of the Ocean City-Longport Bridge. The article should probably be updated to reflect the current routing, with the former Rand McNally routing mentioned in the history. Dough4872 20:28, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
