     1)  The page with the split line districting is:  

          http://rangevoting.org/SplitLR.html  

(once at this page, if you click on NJ you will see the NJ map with the old census dating using the split line method - Anna Little's 6th Congressional District would have included mostly coastline and Ocean County)

     2) The page with the smallest perimeter districting is:

Again, click on NJ to see the map.  Anna Little's 6th Congressional District once again would have followed the coastline into Ocean County.
