I have a copy of that. But mine is a 1977 paperback re-print from the Ocean County Historical Society that was limited to 500 copies, found it in a junk shop many years ago. It's a rather small book that's printed in a tiny little font that's quite difficult to read and also written in an archaic style that I find hard to approach... long sentences with lots of commas. I assumed that people here would be familiar with it. From the preface:
"This aims to be an accurate descriptive guide-book to the Jersey Coast -- from Sandy Hook to Atlantic City -- and to the Jersey Pine Plains. New York City is taken as the stating-point, and the Sandy Hook and Jersey Southern routes as those respectively to the Coast and the Pines; although one chapter, for the sake of completeness, describes the all-rail route via the N. Y. and Long Branch R. R., whose rates of fare are also included in the table of railroad fares in the introduction."
The maps are nice, have thought of scanning, georeferencing and stitching them together into a seamless map someday. The re-print doesn't have any copyright as far as I can tell, except the original one from 1889. As it happens, my scanner is sitting here after scanning some documents for my accountant (tax time!) and I was just about to put it away. Maybe I'll give it a try. The maps are small and aren't likely to reveal all that much, but they're interesting anyway. It's bound very tightly, so I'll need to cut the maps out to get a good scan, that has put me off a bit, but I don't think my copy is all that valuable and it gives me a headache to try to read that tiny type.
These are very low resolution, inaccurate maps that aren't likely to help you find any property stones, but they're still interesting. I georeferenced them against USGS 250k topo's and there was only so much I could do. The originals just aren't geographically accurate and the 5 individual maps didn't even match each other very well. Basically, I tried to make the coastline match the USGS Topo. Everything in between does not match up very well.
