The locations and dates of the major battles are shown in red with large crossed swords. The minor battles and skirmishes are shown in red with smaller crossed swords. Because of the many engagements that occurred in the neutral ground, the area from New Brunswick and Amboy northward to Paramus and Closter the dates are listed on the left of the map. The colonial place names are used, and the locations are accurate within the physical limitations of the map. Whenever possible, the natural features of the Jersey coast have been restored to their approximate location for the decade 1770-1780. Cape May has been extended, Sandy Hook altered and Brigantine and Long Beach moved seaward. The road network is only representative and is included for the purpose of suggesting the major travel routes of the period, with due consideration to the local topography. County and township names are those which were in existence during the Revolutionary War as they appear in THE STORY OF NEW JERSEY'S CIVIL BOUNDARIES by John P. Snyder.
