About this map

Lakewood serves as the primary hub of this late 1940s survey, centered at the confluence of the North Branch Metedeconk River and the South Branch Metedeconk River. The map details a landscape transitioning from a dense town grid to expansive wooded tracts and water features like Lake Carasaljo and Lake Manetta. Key institutional landmarks such as Georgian Court College and the Paul Kimball Hosp are clearly marked, alongside essential infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Plant.

Transport is defined by the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the prominent Rockfeller Memorial Highway. Beyond the main settlement, smaller communities and family-named locales such as Lanes Mills, Seven Stars, and Silverton appear. Natural drainage is intricately mapped through numerous branches, including Tarkiln Branch and Polhemus Branch, which lead toward Kettle Creek and the coastal edges of Brick and Dover townships.
