1901 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Light anchor the northern tip of the peninsula, marking a critical military and maritime entrance to the region at the turn of the century. The map reveals a dense network of coastal defenses and navigation aids, including the Waackaack Beacon and multiple Life-Saving Stations along the Atlantic shore. Inland, the landscape of Monmouth County is defined by the Highlands of Navesink and a series of prominent elevations like Beacon Hill and Crawford Hill, which provided strategic overlooks and landmarks for early coastal travelers.
