About this map

Oakland Mills and West Freehold sit at the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, where the headwaters of several major New Jersey drainage systems begin their descent. The area is defined by the branching tributaries of the Manalapan Brook, the Manasquan River, and both branches of the Metedeconk River. These waterways historically powered local industry, evidenced by the concentration of mill sites such as Wyckoff Mills, Jacksons Mills, and Bennetts Mills. While suburban development like Stonehurst East and Stonehurst West has expanded, large agricultural and recreational tracts remain, including the Crest Fruit Farm and the Charleston Springs Golf Course. Small aviation strips like Ekdahl Airport and the Cuddihy Landing Strip are tucked between the wooded corridors of the North Branch Metedeconk River and South Branch Metedeconk River, reflecting the mix of rural utility and modern residential growth in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
