1954 Map of Marlboro

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Marlboro State Hospital dominates the northwestern landscape of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the quiet rural crossroads of Wickatunk, Bradevelt, and Hillsdale. To the south, the massive U S Naval Reservation Earle Ammunition Depot marks a significant military presence in Monmouth County, with the Pennsylvania Railroad providing a direct industrial link to the facility. The terrain is defined by the Hominy Hills and the winding course of Big Brook, while the eastern portion of the map shows the Swimming River Reservoir near the settlement of Phalanx. Transport networks are transitioning here, with the modern Garden State Parkway cutting through the northeast corner, contrasting with the established local paths like Laird Road and the Central RR of New Jersey line. Smaller communities such as Colts Neck, Scobeyville, and Vanderburg maintain their historic footprints, centered around local landmarks like St Marys Ch and the Township School.
