1956 Map of Mattituck

About this map

Mattituck serves as a central hub on this North Fork landscape, situated between the Long Island Sound and Great Peconic Bay. The map highlights a mid-century agricultural and recreational transition, with established settlements like Jamesport, Laurel, and Northville surrounded by vast open tracts and scattered ponds. To the south, across the water, the geography shifts toward the wetland-rich terrain of Flanders and Hampton Bays, where the narrow land at Canoe Place separates Great Peconic Bay from Shinnecock Bay.
