About this map

Huntington and the surrounding north shore of Long Island are captured here just after the war, showcasing a landscape transitioning from grand estates to institutional and suburban development. The map details numerous private holdings such as the Chas L Tiffany Estate, the O H Kahn Estate, and the S L Robbins Jr Estate, while also highlighting significant community landmarks like the Nassau County Sanitarium and the New York Institute of Applied Agriculture.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Long Island RR (Port Jefferson Branch), with stops at Huntington Sta and Cold Spring Harbor Sta. To the south, the Long Island Motor Parkway and Lower Motor Parkway cut through the terrain near Melville Village. Unique local enclaves like Swedetown Village and the military presence at Troop "C" 101st Cav N Y N G provide specific genealogical and historical insights into this post-war era.
