About this map

Red Bank and the surrounding coastal communities sit at the junction of the Navesink River and the Shrewsbury River, defining the character of this Monmouth County landscape. The map illustrates the intensive suburban development of the early 21st century, where historic boroughs like Fair Haven and Little Silver are linked by a dense network of residential streets and arterial roads such as Co Rd 520.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the Quaker Cem near Rumson to the clustered Woodbine Cem, Greenlawn Cem, and Glenwood Cem in the Long Branch area. The presence of Monmouth Univ and the sprawling interchanges of the Garden State Pkwy contrast with preserved water features like the Swimming River Reservoir and Shadow Lake, highlighting the balance between modern infrastructure and the region's natural drainage basins.
