About this map

Freehold and the surrounding Monmouth County countryside are shown here during a period of dense suburban infill, where modern residential developments like Monmouth Heights at Manalapan sit alongside much older village sites. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several significant waterways, including Manalapan Brook and Matchaponix Brook, which historically powered local industry. The map illustrates the shift from a rural agricultural economy toward a regional residential hub, with historical milling sites such as Lafayette Mills and Mounts Mills now surrounded by neighborhood streets.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Old Scots Cem near Wickatunk and Maplewood Cem closer to the town center. The presence of Old Bridge Airport and a complex network of county roads like Co Rd 537 highlights the importance of transportation in this corridor. From the concentrated settlement of Englishtown to the sprawling suburbs of Robertsville, this survey provides a precise record of the area's development patterns in the 21st century.
