2016 Map of Port Jefferson

About this map

Port Jefferson Harbor and the adjacent Long Island Sound define this coastal stretch of Brookhaven, where maritime heritage and suburban development intersect. The map documents a dense concentration of local history in the Setauket area, including the Caroline Episcopal Churchyard and Cem and the First Presbyterian Churchyard and Cem. These sites, along with the Bethel African-American Cem and Laurel Hill African-American Cem, serve as critical points for genealogical research. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Terryville and Selden to the prominent heights of Mt Misery and the educational grounds of Stony Brook Univ. Evidence of the area's older infrastructure persists through labels like the Sheep Pasture Road Bridge and the path of the Long Island railroad, illustrating how the community evolved around its natural harbors and early overland routes.
