1954 Map of Marlboro

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Marlboro State Hospital and its adjacent State Hospital Cem anchor the western portion of this mid-century Monmouth County landscape, just as suburban expansion began to touch the rural edges of these traditional farming townships. The map documents a transition from agricultural crossroads like Pleasant Valley Crossroads and Smocks Corners to a more integrated residential and institutional geography. The Central Railroad of New Jersey cuts through the western corridor, serving the village of Wickatunk, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the sprawling U S Naval Reservation. Significant local landmarks include the Township School in Colts Neck and the Swimming River Reservoir on the eastern boundary. The presence of the Garden State Parkway in the northeast indicates the arrival of the modern transportation network that would soon redefine this area's connectivity to the broader New Jersey region.
