About this map

Moriches Bay and the Atlantic coastline dominate this South Shore landscape, where the barrier beach of Westhampton Island shelters a network of intricate coves and tidal inlets. The transition from the dense maritime forests and wetlands of Tanner Neck and Havens Point into the established residential hamlets reflects the historic development of this portion of Long Island. The map documents the residential patterns of Remsenburg and Speonk, where the Tuthill Burial Ground remains a quiet marker of early settlement history.

Industrial and transport corridors are clearly defined by the path of 27 and the Francis S Gabreski Airport to the northeast. Along the shoreline, specific points of interest for local historians include the Eastport Cem and the unique Bide-A-Wee Animal Cem near Northampton. From the barrier at West Hampton Dunes to the marshes of Seatuck Cove, the map illustrates a complex coastal environment defined by both modern infrastructure and deep-rooted coastal communities.
