1904 Map of Islip

About this map

The northern shoreline of central Suffolk County is dominated by the complex estuaries of Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington Bay, and Northport Bay, where maritime activity centered around settlements like Northport and Centerport. This survey, conducted shortly after the turn of the century by U.S. Geological Survey teams, shows the established rail corridors of the Long Island R. R. feeding inland growth in Smithtown Branch and Kings Park. The geography reveals a stark contrast between the steep bluffs of the Long Island Sound and the barrier beach system of the Fire Islands sheltering the Great South Bay.
