About this map

Gardiners Island and the coastal reaches of East Hampton define this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape shaped by maritime tradition and summer recreation. The shoreline is punctuated by sheltered waters like Three Mile Harbor and Acabonack Harbor, where landings such as Lafarges Landing and Hands Creek Landing provided access to the sea. The interior reveals a network of old roads like Acabonack Road and Old House Landing Road, connecting the hamlet of Springs to outlying areas. On the southwestern tip of Gardiners Island, the Captain Kidd Monument stands near Captain Kidd Pond, referencing the area's legendary history. The map also documents the social fabric of the 1950s, recording numerous seasonal sites including the Fireplace Lodge Girls Camp, Blue Bay Girl Scout Camp, and Boys Harbor Summer Camp. Notable local landmarks such as Our Lady of the Wayside Chapel and the Green River Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Suffolk County.
