About this map

Northport Harbor and its deep-water access to the Long Island Sound dominate this mid-century topographic perspective of Suffolk County. The settlement of Northport is the primary urban center, characterized by a grid of streets including Main Street and institutions like Union Sch and the St Philip Neri Sch. To the east, large institutional campuses such as the Northport Veterans Hospital and the State Hosp near Kings Park define the land use, reflecting the era's significant public health infrastructure.

Transportation is anchored by the Long Island Railroad corridor passing through East Northport, while the northern shoreline shows the transition from residential Asharoken and Centerport to the recreational expanse of Sunken Meadow State Park. Genealogists will find notable detail in the recorded locations of the Northport Rural Cem, St Philip Neri Cem, and the smaller Scidmore Cem near Crab Meadow.
