About this map

The Atlantic coastline of central New Jersey is defined here by a series of coastal lakes and dense residential development. Inland from the resort communities of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, the landscape transitions into the wooded basins of Shark River and Jumping Brook. The presence of the Asbury Park-Neptune Air Terminal and the Military Reservation Evans Signal Laboratory highlights the mid-century intersection of transportation and defense in Monmouth County.

Smaller, historically significant settlements like Shafto Corners, Reevytown, and Osbornes Mills are visible, alongside numerous local schools and cemeteries such as Mt Calvary Cem and St Catharines Cem. The map illustrates the expansion of the Garden State Parkway cutting through the western interior, while the coastal strip remains anchored by historic boardwalk communities and the Conrail rail line.
