1954 Map of Marlboro

About this map

Marlboro State Hospital and its associated State Hospital Cem stand as significant mid-century landmarks in this Monmouth County landscape, which transitions from organized institutional grounds to the sprawling U S Naval Reservation in the south. The area is defined by a series of small, established communities like Wickatunk, Morganville, and Colts Neck, many of which were historically linked by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The eastern edge is dominated by the Swimming River Reservoir, while the interior terrain is marked by the Pleasant Hills and the Hominy Hills.
