1900 Map of Oyster Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The North Shore of Long Island is defined by deep glacial harbors and established rail corridors at the turn of the century. Settlements like Oyster Bay and Sea Cliff serve as primary hubs along the coast, while the interior of Nassau County is dotted with estate-country hamlets including Old Westbury, Wheatley, and Brookville. Navigation in Long Island Sound is guided by the Sands Point Light and Execution Rocks L.H., marking the approaches to Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor. The expansion of the Long Island R. R. (Oyster Bay Branch) and the Main Line through Hicksville and Westbury Station illustrates the era's critical transportation infrastructure. To the north across the sound, the Connecticut and Westchester County shorelines show the industrializing waterfronts of Mamaroneck and Harrison.
