About this map

Shelter Island and its surrounding Peconic Bay waters are the central focus of this 2016 survey, documenting the intricate coastline of the East End of Long Island. The map details the transition from the maritime commercial hub of Greenport to the secluded residential colonies and harbor-side villages of the island, such as Dering Harbor and Shelter Island Heights. The interior of the island reveals a preservation of historical sites, including the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church Burial Ground and the Quaker Cem.

Navigation and local geography are defined by numerous coves and creeks, from West Neck Bay to the marshy reaches of Coecles Harbor. To the north, the village of Stirling and its Stirling Basin reflect the deep-rooted seafaring legacy of the region. The southern portion of the sheet captures the connection to North Haven and the approach to Sag Harbor, highlighting the complex ferry and road networks that bind these isolated coastal communities together.
