About this map

The North Shore of Long Island is defined here by the intricate coastline of Oyster Bay and the narrow peninsula of Bayville. This late-1960s survey captures the estate character of the landscape, where large properties and institutional grounds like St Josephs Monastery and the Mill Neck Manor Sch occupy significant acreage. The map highlights the historic Sagamore Hill Nat Historical Site on Cove Neck, the home of Theodore Roosevelt, which remains a central cultural landmark.

Development is concentrated in clusters around Locust Valley, Matinecock, and the waterfront at Glen Cove. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several family-named burial grounds, including Pratt Cem, Underhill Cem, and Smith Cem. The aquatic environment is equally detailed, showing the reefs and harbors of the Long Island Sound, from the Bayville Bridge spanning Mill Neck Creek to the offshore cluster of Great Captain Island and its smaller neighbors.
