1995 Map of Asbury Park

About this map

Shark River defines the central topography of this Monmouth County coast, broadening into the South Arm before meeting the Atlantic Ocean at the Shark River Inlet. The landscape by the mid-1990s shows a dense network of coastal boroughs and inland developments, where older mill sites like Algers Mills and Osbones Mills contrast with modern infrastructure such as the Garden State Parkway. Large institutional and military holdings occupy the western reaches, notably the Earle Naval Weapons Station and the National Guard Training Center near the shore. Residential growth is visible in the suburban layouts of Hamilton, Glendola, and Spring Lake Heights, while historical burial grounds including Monmouth Mem Park (Cem) and Jump Brook Cem provide significant points of reference for genealogists tracking local families.
