1904 Map of East Hampton

About this map

East Hampton and its surrounding South Fork settlements are documented here during the early twentieth century, showing a landscape defined by its maritime reliance and the reaching trackage of the Long Island (Montauk Division) railroad. The topography by A.P. Meade Jr. illustrates the intricate coastal geography from Wainscott to the narrow stretch of Napeague Beach. Life on the water is evident through the placement of life-saving stations like the Amagansett L.S.S. and Georgica L.S.S., as well as landing sites at Abrams Ldg. and Fresh Pond Ldg. near Gardiners Bay.
