1956 Map of Napeague Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Promised Land and Devon occupy a narrow, ecologically complex corridor of the South Fork in the mid-1950s, bounded by the Napeague Bay to the north and the open Atlantic Ocean to the south. This coastal stretch, governed by the town of East Hampton, shows a landscape defined by its transit routes, including the Long Island Railroad and Montauk Highway which parallel the shoreline. The map captures a moment before intense modern development, where small settlements like Beach Hampton and Amagansett are framed by prominent terrain features such as Napeague Beach and the protected waters of Napeague Harbor.
