1956 Map of Mattituck Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The northern shoreline of the Southold township is defined by the elevation of the Mattituck Hills and Oregon Hills, which rise sharply above the Long Island Sound. This 1950s survey documents a coastal landscape transitioning from its maritime and agricultural roots toward mid-century development. The Mattituck Inlet serves as a critical break in the shoreline, protected by a jetty and marked by the Mattituck Light. Inland, the settlement of Waterville is surrounded by a network of established lanes such as Elijahs Lane and Depot Lane, pointing to the area's logistical connections. Small-scale industrial sites, including an asphalt plant and oil storage near Nagles, sit alongside natural features like Wolf Pit Lake, illustrating the varied land use of the North Fork during this era.
