The Jersey Shore communities of Long Branch and Monmouth Beach dominate this 2019 coastal survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the narrow strip of land between the Shrewsbury River and the Atlantic Ocean. The map traces the dense residential and commercial development of the northern Monmouth County shoreline, from the established neighborhoods of Rumson and Oceanport to the waterfront stretches of Sea Bright. Local geography is shaped by intricate waterways like Long Branch Reach and Monahassett Creek, while inland features such as Lake Takanassee provide a counterpoint to the salt water. The survey captures the modern road network, including the iconic Ocean Ave, and identifies smaller coastal districts like Galilee, Low Moor, and Elberon that have long defined the social and geographic fabric of this legendary stretch of the Atlantic coast.
