About this map

Lakewood is the primary hub of this landscape, where the waters of Lake Carasaljo and Lake Manetta meet at the Waterworks. The map captures the suburban expansion across Ocean County Park and the development of major educational and religious institutions such as Georgian Court College and Beth Medrash Govoha. Residential growth is evident in the planned layouts of Leisure Village, Holiday City, and Greenbriar, which are situated between the drainage systems of the Metedeconk River and Kettle Creek.

Industry and transport are anchored by the Garden State Parkway and the Lakewood Airport, while numerous Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits point to the ongoing extraction and infrastructure building of the late 20th century. Local heritage is preserved in several significant sites including Evergreen Cemetery and the Seven Stars settlement. The southeastern portion of the map transitions into the coastal wetlands and tidewaters of Silver Bay and Toms River, illustrating the area's geography as it reaches the Atlantic estuaries.
