1956 Map of Napeague Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Promised Land and the surrounding fishing and industrial infrastructure anchor the coastline of this mid-century Long Island survey. The map details a narrow, salt-scrub landscape defined by the Long Island Railroad and Montauk Highway, which parallel the shore between the dunes of Napeague Beach and the protected waters of Napeague Harbor. The settlement of Devon and the nascent development at Beach Hampton illustrate the post-war transition toward seasonal recreation and residential expansion in the town of East Hampton.
