1904 Map of Easthampton

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

Easthampton and its neighboring villages are captured here during a period of steady maritime and rail-driven growth at the eastern end of Long Island. The Long Island (Montauk Division) railroad connects established settlements like Amagansett and Wainscott, cutting through a landscape defined by coastal ponds and high ground such as Divinity Hill. The maritime safety infrastructure of the early 1900s is remarkably clear, with several Life-Saving Stations positioned along the shoreline, including Georgica L.S.S. and Napeague L.S.S.. Local place names like Hardscrabble, Pantigo, and Freetown reflect the deep-rooted social geography of the area, while the inclusion of Abrams Ldg. and Promised Land highlights the importance of small-scale coastal landings before the expansion of modern highway networks. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between Gardiners Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, including the narrow stretch of Napeague Beach.
