About this map

Northport Harbor and Northport Bay anchor this coastal survey, showing the North Shore of Long Island during a period of established residential growth and institutional development. The village of Northport is the primary hub, surrounded by smaller settlements like Centerport, Fort Salonga, and Kings Park. The landscape is characterized by a mix of recreational and public spaces, including the expansive Sunken Meadow State Park and the Northport Veterans Hospital complex.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several historical burial grounds, such as Northport Rural Cem and Genola Cem, alongside numerous neighborhood schools like Ocean Avenue Sch and Larkfield Sch. The Long Island Rail Road cuts through the southern portion of the map, connecting East Northport to the wider region. Coastal landmarks such as the Vanderbilt Museum and the unique narrow spit of Asharoken Beach leading to Eatons Neck illustrate the area's maritime character.
