About this map

Fort Hancock and the iconic Sandy Hook Lighthouse anchor the narrow peninsula of Sandy Hook during the mid-1950s, a period when this coastal landscape was heavily defined by its military significance. The interior is dominated by the U S Naval Reservation (Earle Ammunition Depot) and a U S Air Force Reservation, highlighting the area's strategic role in maritime and aerial defense. Along the southern shore, established communities like Atlantic Highlands and Highlands overlook the Navesink River, where the Oceanic Bridge provides a vital link to Rumson.
