1900 Map of Oyster Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay dominate this coastal survey, showing the North Shore of Long Island before the full suburban expansion of the later twentieth century. The map illustrates a landscape of established estates and emerging commuter hubs, where the Long Island RR branches toward Glen Cove and Port Washington. On the northern shore, the waterway is punctuated by navigational markers like Sands Point Light and Execution Rocks L.H., which guided maritime traffic across Long Island Sound. To the south, inland settlements like Albertson Station and Searington sit along the boundary of Queens Borough, while the Westchester shoreline across the sound features White Plains and Mamaroneck. The survey captures the intricate topography of the "Gold Coast" era, from the heights of Harbor Hill to the complex inlets of Dosoris Pond.
