About this map

The Lakehurst Naval Air Weapons Center/Maxfield Field occupies a significant portion of this landscape, reflecting the long-standing military and aviation history associated with this part of Ocean County. To the east and north, residential growth is evident in settlements like Ridgeway, Leisure Knoll, and Cedar Glen West, which sit in contrast to the more scattered rural beginnings of Holmansville and Van Hiseville.

Waterways define the drainage patterns of the Pine Barrens, with the Toms River and its various tributaries, such as the Dove Mill Branch and Ridgeway Branch, carving through the terrain. Civil engineering features like the Gliddon Lake Dam and Bunker Hill Dam indicate water management for recreation and local utility. The borough of Lakehurst serves as a central point for the surrounding area, anchored by Horicon Lake and the rail infrastructure supporting the nearby naval facilities.
