1947 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Ft Hancock dominates the northern tip of the peninsula, serving as a critical component of the United States Government Military Reservation at the entrance to New York Harbor. This post-war era survey reveals a landscape defined by maritime commerce and defense, where the New Jersey Central railroad lines connect shore communities like Belford and Atlantic Highlands. The shoreline is heavily industrialized with significant infrastructure, including the Standard Oil Co of New Jersey Pier and the S S Mandalay Pier, reflecting the region's mid-century reliance on coastal shipping and transit.
