1956 Map of Greenport

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Shelter Island and the Greenport maritime district appear in this 1950s survey, illustrating the intricate coastline of New York's East End. The landscape is defined by its dependency on water transport and rail connections, anchored by the Long Island RR terminal and the Dering Harbor ferry crossing. The settlement of Shelter Island Heights and North Haven are shown with their mid-century road networks, while the interior of the island remains punctuated by local landmarks like the Quaker Cemetery and Fresh Pond. Coastal features like the Long Beach Bar Lighthouse and the expanse of Orient Beach State Park frame the deep-water access points of Greenport Harbor and Gardiners Bay. The map captures a moment when traditional maritime industries and growing seasonal residency shared the shoreline, from the boat slips of Stirling to the early conservation boundaries of the Morton National Wildlife Refuge.
