About this map

Long Island Sound carves a complex coastline of harbors and necks on the northern shore of Suffolk County, as surveyed at the opening of the twentieth century. The maritime character of the region is anchored by active navigational aids like Eatons Neck L.H. and the Lloyd Harbor L.H., marking the approaches to Northport Bay and Huntington Bay. Inland, the landscape transitions from the coastal bluffs of Lloyd Neck to the elevated terrain of the Dix Hills and Half Hollow Hills.

The Long Island Railroad serves as the primary artery for southern settlements like Deerpark and Wyandanch, while a separate branch reaches into the heart of the northern villages. Detailed road networks connect established communities such as Cold Spring Harbor, Greenlawn, and Kings Park. Local landmarks like Mountain Mist Spring and High Hill provide specific points of interest for those studying the early residential and agricultural development of the Huntington and Babylon townships.
