1901 Map of Northport

About this map

Eatons Neck and Lloyd Neck define the northern shoreline of this coastal landscape, protecting the deep waters of Huntington Bay and Northport Bay. Maritime navigation is prominently marked by several beacons, including Eatons Neck L.H. and the Cold Spring Harbor L.H., which guided traffic through the Long Island Sound and its various inlets. Inland, the terrain rises into the Dix Hills and Half Hollow Hills, where localized features like Mountain Mist Spring and High Hill punctuate the ridges. The settlement pattern of the early century is captured here, showing established villages like Huntington and Northport alongside smaller hamlets such as Fort Salonga and Commack. Transportation is anchored by the Long Island RR and the Long Island Motor Parkway, reflecting a region transitioning from maritime roots to a growing rail and road network.
