About this map

Georgian Court University and the historic core of Lakewood serve as the focal point for this survey of eastern New Jersey's suburban and coastal landscape. The region's intricate water network is defined by the North Branch Metedeconk River and South Branch Metedeconk River, which feed into prominent local bodies like Lake Carasaljo and Forge Pond. These waterways historically dictated the development patterns of early settlements such as Lanes Mills and Larrabees, which have since integrated into the modern residential fabric of Bricktown and Silverton.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous memorial sites across the quadrangle, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Olam Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. The landscape reflects the transition from dense pine barrens to established planned communities like Leisure Village and Holiday City. Significant infrastructure such as the Garden State Pkwy and the Lakewood Post Office mark the area's growth and connectivity to the broader Jersey Shore corridor near Silver Bay.
