1904 Map of Gardiners Island

About this map

Gardiners Island stands prominently between Gardiners Bay and Block Island Sound, showcasing a landscape of isolated ponds and coastal features at the start of the twentieth century. To the north, Plum Island is dominated by the military presence of Fort Terry, while the waters of The Race are marked by the Race Rock L.H. and the rugged Little Gull I. shoreline. The map captures the maritime orientation of eastern Long Island, where landings such as Alberts Landing and Quincetree Landing served local commerce and travel. On the mainland, small settlements like Springs and Kingstown are nestled near Acabonack Harbor, providing a detailed look at the rural roads and early development patterns within Easthampton before modern coastal expansion altered these traditional harbor communities.
