1956 Map of Mattituck

About this map

Mattituck and the surrounding north and south forks of Long Island define this 1956 landscape, where the Long Island Railroad cuts through a mosaic of agricultural fields and coastal inlets. The terrain transition between the Long Island Sound to the north and the expansive Great Peconic Bay to the south reveals a complex water system including Mattituck Creek and Laurel Lake. This mid-century survey captures the region's character as a retreat and maritime hub, evidenced by Camp Malloy, Camp Immaculate, and the Mattituck Park District Beach. To the south, settlements like Flanders and Hampton Bays are linked by the Montauk Highway near Canoe Place, while interior landmarks such as Northville Cem and various small ponds like Sears Pond and Penny Pond provide fine-grained detail for local historians and genealogists.
