About this map

Sandy Hook and the northern reaches of Monmouth County are documented here during the late nineteenth century, a time of critical maritime and rail development. The map details a sophisticated network of navigational aids including Sandy Hook Light, the Navesink Lights, and multiple beacons like Conover Beacon that guided traffic into Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook Bay. Inland, the terrain rises toward the Highlands of Navesink and Telegraph Hill, while the coastal strip is dotted with Life Saving Stations, such as L.S.Station Seabright, highlighting the region's importance to coastal safety.
