About this map

Keyport and Matawan anchor this coastal landscape along the southern reaches of Raritan Bay, where a dense network of suburban development is interspersed with significant local landmarks and cemeteries. The map traces the varied shoreline from Laurence Harbor and Cliffwood Beach east to Keansburg, revealing a geography defined by tidal inlets like Whale Creek, Matawan Creek, and Waackaack Creek. Further inland, the terrain rises toward Telegraph Hill and Crawford Hill, overlooking established residential communities and the Garden State Pkwy corridor.

Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cemetery and Cedarwood Cemetery, while modern recreational corridors like the Henry Hudson Bikeway utilize former transit routes. The presence of municipal infrastructure, such as the Matawan Water Works and various post offices, highlights the mature civic identity of these New Jersey shore towns as they appeared in the early 21st century.
