About this map

Colts Neck and the surrounding Monmouth County countryside are mapped here during a period of significant suburban integration and preserved open space. The landscape is defined by its undulating hills, such as Mount Pleasant Hills and the Hominy Hills, and a complex network of waterways including the Swimming River Reservoir, Yellow Brook, and Hop Brook. Historical nodes of settlement like Holmdel, Marlboro, and Wickatunk are visible alongside specialized institutions such as the Brookdale Community College.

Genealogists may find interest in the several burial sites noted, including the Smock Family Cemetery and the State Hospital Cemetery near Bradevelt. The transition from the area's agricultural past to its modern residential character is evident in the survival of place names like Bucks Mill and Phalanx, set against the major transport corridor of the Garden State Parkway cutting through the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
