About this map

Farmingdale serves as a central hub in this late-1980s Monmouth County landscape, where suburban expansion meets significant institutional and military installations. The northern reach is dominated by the sprawling U S Naval Weapons Station Earle, while the Manasquan River and its numerous tributaries, such as Mingamahone Brook and Marsh Bog Brook, carve through the terrain. The map captures a period of distinct residential growth in communities like Land of Pines and Candlewood, positioned near major transit corridors like the Garden State Parkway.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous local landmarks, including Ardena Ch and several schools like Howell High Sch. The presence of the Conrail line and specific markers like Jones Siding and Howell Sta reflect the area's rail history. Recreational and specialized sites, from Allaire State Park to the Brisbane State Child Treatment Ctr, illustrate the diverse land use throughout the Howell township area during this era.
