The Holmdel Horn Antenna and other structures of the Bell Labs annex complex atop Crawford Hill, as seen in 2023 when it was described as being comprised of "a cluster of shacks and sheds" that "could be mistaken for an old mining camp you might come across" in the American mountain west.[1]

Crawford Hill, sometimes known in the past as Crawford's Hill, is located in Holmdel Township, New Jersey, United States. It is Monmouth County's highest point, as well as the highest point in New Jersey's coastal plain, standing 391 feet (119 m) above sea level.[2] The hill is best known as the site of a Bell Telephone Laboratories facility that was an annex to the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex located three miles away.[3] The 43-acre (17 ha) annex property is comprised of a main research building and a number of other structures and scientific instruments, among them the historic Holmdel Horn Antenna.[4]
