About this map

Keyport Harbor and the southern reaches of Raritan Bay dominate this coastal landscape at the intersection of Middlesex and Monmouth counties. The transition from the dense street grids of Matawan and Union Beach to the higher elevations of Mount Pleasant Hills and Telegraph Hill illustrates the varied geography of the New York-New Jersey borderlands. Several older burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cem and Cedarwood Cem, are situated near the established town centers, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in this long-settled region.

Waterways like Matawan Creek and Chingaro ra Creek snake through the coastal lowlands toward the Lower Bay, defining the boundaries of neighborhoods such as Cliffwood Beach and Mechanicsville. The modern transport corridor of the Garden State Pkwy cuts through the southern half of the map, linking newer residential developments in Strathmore and Hazlet with the historic maritime districts along the shoreline.
