2019 Map of Greenport

About this map

Shelter Island dominates this maritime landscape, surrounded by the waters of Gardiners Bay, Noyack Bay, and Shelter Island Sound. The island’s distinct communities, such as Shelter Island Heights and Dering Harbor, are characterized by a network of local roads and numerous cemeteries that speak to the long-standing residents of the area. These include the Quaker Cem, Saint Mary's Episcopal Cem, and the Shelter Island Presbyterian Cem. To the north, the village of Greenport and the settlement of Stirling serve as the mainland connection, linked to the island via the Shelter Island North Ferry. The map documents a landscape defined by its inlets and points, from West Neck Bay to the aviation sites at Klenawicus Airfield and Westmoreland Airport. This modern survey details the intricate shoreline and the settled interior of these Peconic Bay islands before any further 21st-century development.
