About this map

The Navesink River and Shrewsbury River define the intricate landscape of Monmouth County, where established boroughs meet the evolving suburban corridors of coastal New Jersey. This modern topographic record highlights the complex relationship between dense residential settlements like Red Bank and Long Branch and the historic water features that shaped them, including Blossom Cove, Fair Haven Reach, and Blackberry Bay. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting numerous burial grounds such as the Quaker Cem and Woodbine Cem and Mausoleum, alongside the grounds of Monmouth University.

Infrastructure and local landmarks such as Lincroft, Eatontown, and Tinton Falls are captured within a network of county routes including Co Rd 520 and Co Rd 537. The inland topography transitions from the banks of Swimming River Reservoir to the coastal reaches of Port-au-Peck, reflecting centuries of development from small mills and agricultural corners like Wileys Corners to contemporary residential centers.
