1947 Map of Asbury Park
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Jersey Shore's mid-century coastal character is preserved here, centered on the dense urban grid of Asbury Park and its landmark Convention Hall. The map documents a time when distinct borough boundaries like Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, and Avon maintained their individual identities even as development pressed inland. Beyond the boardwalks and beachfronts, the landscape shifts toward agricultural and industrial sites, including the Fred McDowell Sand & Gravel operations and the sprawling military reservation boundaries. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds and civic institutions, ranging from Temple Beth El Cem to the Mt Prospect Cemetery. The inclusion of smaller crossroads like Shafto Corners and Reevytown provides a window into the rural hinterland of Monmouth County before the post-war suburban surge fully transformed the region's interior.
