1956 Map of East Hampton

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

East Hampton and its surrounding hamlets are captured here in the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by historic coastal lanes and established maritime neighborhoods. The map details the transition from the village center toward the dunes, with significant landmarks such as Waters Chapel and St. Philomena's Cem grounding the local social history. The southern coastline is marked by a sequence of prominent coastal ponds, including Georgica Pond, Hook Pond, and Wainscott Pond, which separate the residential developments from the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the road network follows historic routes like Northwest Path and Stephen Hands Path, reflecting centuries of land use. From the industrial Gravel Pits to the recreational corridors near the East Hampton Airport, the survey documents a period of postwar stability before the significant expansion of modern estates changed the character of these South Fork communities.
