About this map

Montauk sits at the eastern tip of Long Island, serving as a critical coastal outpost during the early 1940s. This survey, prepared by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, documents the strategic landscape of the point, where the Long Island railroad terminates near Fort Pond. The map reveals a shore-oriented infrastructure including the Ditch Plain LSS and Hither Plain LSS life-saving stations, essential for navigating the waters between Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
