1947 Map of Middle Island
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
North shore beaches and early Cold War communication infrastructure define this mid-century portrait of Brookhaven. The RCA Radio Station stands centrally with its network of roads and a prominent Radio Tower, while the eastern margin is dominated by the Camp Upton Military Reservation. Along the coastline of the Long Island Sound, the transition from traditional landings like Woodhull Landing and Hallock Landing to residential developments in Sound Beach and Shoreham is clearly visible. Inland, the landscape retains a largely rural character, anchored by the settlement of Middle Island near the kettle-hole waters of Artist Lake. Local transit relies on established routes such as North Country Road and Middle Country Road, which cut through the wooded terrain of central Suffolk County.
