1900 Map of Oyster Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Hempstead Harbor and the complex shoreline of the Long Island Sound define this 1897 survey, reflecting the Gold Coast's transition into a premier residential and maritime hub. On the north shore of Long Island, established communities like Glen Cove and the village of Sea Cliff are shown alongside the early infrastructure of the Long Island railroad system, including the Port Jefferson Branch. Navigational landmarks like Execution Rocks L.H. and Sands Point Light overlook the busy waters of Manhasset Bay and Oyster Bay. Inland, the map captures the rural character of Old Westbury and Hicksville before mid-century suburbanization. Across the sound, the Westchester and Connecticut coasts are detailed from Larchmont to Greenwich, highlighting the tight-knit settlement patterns of Port Chester and Mamaroneck during the late nineteenth century.
