1956 Map of Gardiners Island East

About this map

Gardiners Island dominates this coastal landscape, separated from the tip of Long Island by the waters of Gardiners Bay. The island's isolated character is defined by landmarks like the Gardiners Island 2 Lookout Tower on Whale Hill and various freshwater features including Tobacco Lot Pond and Home Pond. To the south, the narrow strip of land known as Napeague serves as a bridge to the hills, featuring the Long Island Railroad corridor and the Montauk Highway snaking through the coastal dunes.
