H. Mueller of Philadelphia. This reprint reproduces the atlas as preserved in the New York Public Library's copy: the ornate title page, the table of contents with its period directories of Monmouth County's leading lawyers and prominent real estate and insurance agents, and all forty-two double-page plates (Plates 2–43). Plate 1, the outline map of the county, was removed from the source library volume before digitization and is not part of this facsimile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled from actual surveys, state and county official records, and private plans by and under the direction of Chester Wolverton and Forsey Breou, C.E., the atlas captures the Jersey Shore at the height of its Victorian resort boom. Detailed street- and lot-level plans cover Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Long Branch (five plates), Elberon, Deal Beach, Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Atlantic Highlands, Bradley Beach, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, and Manasquan, alongside the inland county seats and market towns — Freehold, Red Bank, Keyport, Matawan, Allentown, Englishtown, Farmingdale, and Shrewsbury. Township maps of Middletown, Shrewsbury, Eatontown, Ocean, Neptune, Wall, Raritan, Holmdel, Atlantic, Howell, Marlboro, Freehold, Manalapan, Millstone, and Upper Freehold — including Sandy Hook — show property owners' names across the countryside, making it possible to locate ancestors' farms and trace nineteenth-century landownership parcel by parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential reference for genealogists, house historians, and collectors of Monmouth County and Jersey Shore history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e88 pages. 8.5\" x 11\".
