About this map

Fort Monmouth and Camp Charles Wood dominate the central landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the area's significance as a military and signals intelligence hub. The coastal corridor between Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach remains a narrow strip of development vulnerable to the Atlantic, while inland, the suburban expansion of Red Bank, Little Silver, and Shrewsbury is clearly underway. The map documents a complex aquatic geography defined by the Navesink River and Shrewsbury River, which carve out numerous points and necks like Gooseneck Point and Horseneck Point.
