View south towards New Brunswick SE Face Middle Wall Trail Below.
Case for McBride Rock: I walked below the ridge for 1/4 mile on either side of Vosseller Ave and didn't see any better location. Neither location has a view of the valley in the background to the right when looking across the rock face like the sketch.
Field of view from Vosseller Ave Rock (B)
Note: You can move about 100 yards down the ridge to get a view of Sandy Hook in the winter when there are no leaves. Note: The only place where you can see the valley below when looking across the rock face is at the first picture above in "View along rock face", but the cliff is on the right. I think Lossing took a little license in the illustration. Picture looking east in the winter without trees. You can see buildings father to the east. I'd guess that Washington's army would have cut down some of these for a better view.
