About this map

The coastal hamlets of southeastern Long Island are captured here just after the war, showing the intricate relationship between the marshy shoreline and the inland transport corridor. The Long Island Railroad and Montauk Highway serve as the primary east-west arteries, connecting the inland village of Eastport with shoreline communities like Speonk, Remsenberg, and Westhampton Beach. This era is defined by the transition from rural agricultural land to a more developed resort and residential landscape, evidenced by the presence of a Golf Course and a northern Airport with a noted Hangar.
