1947 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Ft Hancock and the U. S. Military Reservation dominate the northern peninsula of this coastal survey, where the strategic geography of the Atlantic Ocean meets Raritan Bay. The landscape transitions from the military outposts and batteries of the hook to the established maritime and residential communities of Atlantic Highlands, Belford, and Highlands. Commercial piers such as the Standard Oil Co of New Jersey Pier and the Amusement Park Pier underscore the area's mid-century role as both an industrial hub and a destination for recreation.
