1984 Map of Long Island East

About this map

Long Island’s eastern forks and central pine barrens appear in high detail during the mid-1980s, revealing a landscape defined by its marine orientation and significant federal and state landholdings. The map illustrates the branching of the island at Riverhead into the North Fork toward Southold and the South Fork toward Montauk, separated by the expansive waters of Great Peconic Bay and Little Peconic Bay. Significant landmarks of the era include the sprawling grounds of Brookhaven National Laboratory and the recently established Calverton National Cemetery.
