1901 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Light dominate the northern peninsula of this Monmouth County coast, shielding the entrance to Sandy Hook Bay. The landscape is a intricate network of maritime and rail infrastructure, where the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the New York and Long Branch Railroad connect coastal resorts like Seabright and Monmouth Beach to inland hubs. South of the Highlands of Navesink, the terrain transitions from harbor settlements such as Keyport and Atlantic Highlands to the fertile agricultural lands of Middletown and Holmdel. Further inland, family-named landmarks and geographic features like Hockhockson Swamp and Crawford Hill provide a window into the late nineteenth-century rural interior, while the series of Life Saving Stations, including L. S. Station Seabright, underscore the era's critical maritime safety efforts along the Atlantic Ocean.
