About this map

East Hampton and the surrounding hamlets of the South Fork appear here during the post-war era, showing a landscape defined by its coastal ponds and a growing network of local roads. The village center is densely mapped, with streets extending toward Hardscrabble and the smaller settlements of Freetown and Jericho. The Long Island (Montauk Division) railroad cuts across the terrain, serving as a primary artery for the South Fork and connecting Amagansett to the west.

The coastal margin is particularly detailed, tracing the irregular shorelines of Georgica Pond, Wainscott Pond, and Hook Pond. Local landmarks like the Radio Tower and the Flagstaff Georgica LSS suggest the area's maritime and communication infrastructure. Family-named landmarks and historical enclaves like Pantigo and Divinity Hill are clearly marked, providing a valuable resource for genealogists and local historians interested in the early mid-century development of Suffolk County.
