About this map

The Jersey Shore communities of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove anchor this late-1980s coastal study, revealing a landscape defined by dense Victorian-era seaside developments and modern transportation corridors. The New York and Long Branch RR tracks parallel the coast, connecting historic borough centers like Allenhurst, Bradley Beach, and Belmar. Inland, the Garden State Parkway cuts through once-rural areas, now housing significant infrastructure including the Jersey Shore Medical Center and the Glendola Reservoir.

The map highlights the transition from the structured street grids of the shore towns to the more fragmented suburban growth of Tinton Falls and Neptune City. Significant institutional footprints are visible, from the U.S. Naval Weapons Station Earle in the west to the National Guard Training Center in the south near Sea Girt. Natural features such as the Shark River Hills and Lake Como persist amidst this built environment, showing the enduring geography that shaped these famous resort destinations.
