1903 Map of Northport

About this map

Long Island Sound shapes the rugged North Shore of Long Island, where deep harbors and complex peninsulas define the landscape. The maritime importance of the area is emphasized by several navigational aids, including Eaton Neck L.H. and Lloyd Harbor L.H.. Inland, the terrain rises into the distinctive Dix Hills and Half Hollow Hills, while the Long Island Railroad cuts across the southern portion of the sheet through Deerpark and Wyandanch. The Port Jefferson Branch of the rail network connects early 20th-century settlements like Kings Park, Greenlawn, and Larkfield. Along the shoreline, historic maritime villages such as Northport, Centerport, and Cold Spring Harbor are shown during a period of steady growth, their development closely tied to the natural inlets and the expansion of the rail corridor.
