1918 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Light dominate the narrow spit of the northern New Jersey coast during the final year of the Great War. This military-focused study detail the complex coastal defenses and navigational aids required for New York Harbor's entrance, including the South Beacon and several Life Saving stations such as L. S. Station Seabright. Inland, the landscape is defined by the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the New York and Atlantic Highlands Electric Railroad, which link established shore communities like Keansburg and Belford with interior hamlets.
