1956 Map of Montauk Point

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Montauk Point stands at the easternmost tip of Long Island, where the Atlantic Ocean meets Block Island Sound. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of transition, balancing the quiet fishing and resort character of Montauk Beach with the strategic footprint of the U S Military Reservation Camp Hero. The Long Island Railroad terminates at the Montauk Sta, serving as a vital link for the growing coastal community. Large bodies of water like Fort Pond and Big Reed Pond dominate the interior terrain, while the famous Lighthouse marks the jagged edge of the coast. For those studying local heritage, the map identifies private sporting clubs such as the Montauk Gun Club and Montauk Yacht Club on Star Island, alongside local landmarks like Community Ch and the small settlement at Ditch Plains.
