1943 Map of Gardiners Island East

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Gardiners Island stands as a massive private estate and sanctuary within the waters of Block Island Sound, as depicted in this 1943 Army Map Service survey. The island’s interior is dominated by a central Airport and large freshwater bodies such as Great Pond and Tobaccolot Pond, bordered by terrain markers like Whale Hill and the Eastern Plain Pt. The landscape transitions from these secluded island shores to the mainland of East Hampton across Gardiners Bay. On the South Fork, the Long Island Railroad and Montauk Highway cut through the coastal dunes of Hither Hills. This era shows the preservation of the shore at Hither Hills State Park and the low-lying reaches of Napeague Harbor, where small settlements like Alberts Landing and Barnes Landing provide access to the bay.
