About this map

Sandy Hook Bay and the complex tidal landscape of the Jersey Shore define this coastal survey. The map details the residential and maritime infrastructure of Monmouth County, from the docks of Port Monmouth and Belford to the elevated terrain of Atlantic Highlands and Garrett Hill. Modern ferry routes, such as the Belford-Wall St-WFC, underscore the area's role as a transit hub for the New York metropolitan region.

Inland, the survey is a resource for genealogists, documenting numerous local burial grounds including Harmony Cemetery, Crystal Stream Cemetery, and Saint Clements Cemetery. The eastern peninsula is dominated by the military and maritime heritage of Fort Hancock, anchored by the Sandy Hook Lighthouse. This 2011 edition provides a clear record of the suburban and industrial interface, tracing the paths of Pews Creek and Compton Creek as they meet the Raritan Bay.
