2011 Map of Marlboro

About this map

Swimming River Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Monmouth County region, its fingers reaching into several watersheds near Phalanx and Scobeyville. The map illustrates the transition from traditional agriculture to suburban density, where landmarks like Eastmont Orchards and Romanessin Brook Farm persist alongside expanding residential clusters in Hillsdale and Monmouth Heights at Marlboro. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are preserved on this sheet, including the Smock Family Cemetery and the State Hospital Cemetery. Water management and early industry are evident at the Bucks Mill Dam on Yellow Brook and the Marlu Lake Dam. Significant relief is provided by the Hominy Hills to the south and Stone Hill, providing a backdrop to established crossroads like Vanderburg and Colts Neck.
