1947 Map of Greenport

About this map

The maritime village of Greenport serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Peconic Bay region, showing a dense network of piers and wharves concentrated around Greenport Harbor and the Stirling Basin. Across the water, Shelter Island dominates the central landscape, connected by its unique geography of coves and necks like West Neck and Ram Island. The road network of the era is well-defined, with Stearns Point Road and Cobbetts Lane winding through the islands. Further south, the map details the settlement at North Haven and the northern edge of Sag Harbor, illustrating the complex water-based boundaries of Southampton and East Hampton. Small inland water features such as Silver Lake and Fresh Pond provide essential landmarks for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family lands near the various points and creeks.
