2014 Map of Sandy Hook West

About this map

Fort Hancock and the northern reaches of the Gateway National Recreation Area dominate the eastern shoreline, where the peninsula of Sandy Hook Point reaches into the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its complex waterway network, featuring the Raritan Bay Channel and numerous ferry routes connecting the Monmouth County coast to New York City. Inland, the terrain rises toward Garrett Hill and Chapel Hill, overlooking a series of established residential communities. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Harmony Cem, Chapel Hill Cem, and Mt Olivet Cem. The coastal interface is particularly active at Belford Harbor and the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Harbor, while the southern border is shaped by the Navesink River near Fair Haven and Rumson.
