1944 Map of Gardiners Island West

About this map

Springs and the surrounding hamlets of Kingstown and Eastside anchor this wartime-era survey of the eastern Long Island coastline. The geography is defined by the deep indentation of Threemile Harbor and the expansive Gardiners Bay, where the southwestern tip of Gardiners Island is visible with features like Cherry Hill Pond and Bostwick Creek. This map captures a coastal landscape of wetlands and winding inlets before the mid-century surge in residential development.
