1900 Map of Oyster Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

Oyster Bay and the surrounding Gold Coast of Long Island appear here at a moment of significant expansion, just after the turn of the century. The northern shore is deeply indented by Hempstead Harbor, Manhasset Bay, and Oyster Bay, showing the early 1900s footprint of established coastal villages like Sea Cliff, Glen Cove, and Port Washington. Inland, the landscape transitions from the heights of Harbor Hill toward the plains of Hicksville, with the branching network of the Long Island Railroad providing the vital link to the city. Maritime safety is well-documented with the positioning of Execution Rocks L.H. and Sands Point Light. Across the Long Island Sound, the Westchester shoreline from Larchmont to Port Chester is mapped in detail, including the cluster of islands in Captain Harbor.
