1956 Map of Napeague Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Promised Land sits at the northern edge of this narrow coastal strip, reflecting the mid-century landscape of eastern Long Island. The area is defined by the thin stretch of land between Napeague Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, where the Long Island Montauk Branch railroad runs parallel to the shoreline. Small settlements like Devon and Beach Hampton are nestled near the dunes and marshes of Napeague Meadows, providing a look at local development before later conservation and expansion efforts reshaped the region.
