1956 Map of Howells Point

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Bellport and Shirley anchor the northern shoreline of this mid-century coastal survey, where the marshy edges of Long Island meet the protected waters of Patchogue Bay and Brookhaven Bay. The landscape is dominated by the narrow, sandy stretch of Fire Island Beach, a barrier that separates the calm Great South Bay from the open Atlantic Ocean. Several small islands, including Hospital Island, Pelican Island, and John Boyle Island, dot the interior waters, marking the shifting shoals of the bay.
