1956 Map of Mattituck

About this map

Great Peconic Bay and Flanders Bay dominate this mid-century landscape, separating the North Fork's agricultural and village centers from the wooded interior of the South Fork. On the north side, the Long Island Railroad links established communities like Mattituck, Laurel, and Jamesport, where orchards and field lines define the topography near Long Island Sound. The map reveals a dense network of freshwater ponds such as Marratooka Lake and Laurel Lake, which provided natural focal points for early settlement and recreational camps like Camp Immaculate and Camp Malloy.
