1998 Map of Sandy Hook

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Lighthouse anchor the narrow peninsula at the northern tip of the New Jersey shore, guarding the entrance to Lower Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by the complex maritime infrastructure required to navigate the Sandy Hook Channel and False Hook Channel. On the mainland, the residential developments of Keansburg, Leonardo, and Highlands are separated from the shoreline by a network of tidal features like Compton Creek and Spermaceti Cove. The land use shows a transition from the dense urban blocks of East Keansburg to the expansive wooded reaches of Hartshorne Woods County Park and Huber Woods County Park. Notable historical landmarks include the Board of Proprietors State Historic Site and the Twin Lights State Historic Site, which overlooks the Navesink River and the narrow strip of Sea Bright.
