About this map

The Manasquan River and the Point Pleasant Canal dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the intricate hydraulic connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the sprawling waters of Barnegat Bay. The 2019 survey delineates a highly developed shorefront where the boundary between Monmouth Co and Ocean Co meets at the Manasquan Inlet. Dense residential patterns characterize established communities like Point Pleasant and Brielle, while smaller neighborhoods such as Adamston and Mandalay occupy the various necks and points along the Metedeconk River.

Maritime infrastructure is evident through features like the Intracoastal Waterway, the Winter Yacht Basin, and numerous protected coves including Havens Cove. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several burial sites, such as the White Lawn Cem and the descriptively named Gravelly Graveyard near Metedeconk. The convergence of rail and road, marked by Bay Head Junction and the Garden State Parkway, underscores the area's role as a primary corridor for transit and recreation along the Jersey Shore.
