About this map

Gardiners Island stands as a prominent private estate surrounded by the waters of Gardiners Bay and Block Island Sound. This landscape is defined by a series of significant coastal ponds, including Tobacolot Pond, Gales Pond, and Great Pond, which reflect the island's unique hydrography. The presence of the Gardiners Island Cem near the central manor area offers a point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the long-standing legacy of the estate.

To the south, the narrow strip of Napeague Beach connects the mainland to the high ground of Hither Hills and the village of Montauk. The map details the shifting sands of the Cartwright Shoals and Cartwright Island, while the mainland portion shows the residential streets of Napeague, such as Lazy Point Rd and Crassen Blvd. This area captures the transition from the private isolation of the island to the popular coastal settlements at the eastern tip of Long Island.
