About this map

Shinnecock Bay and the protective barrier beach of the South Shore define this landscape near the start of the 21st century. The map illustrates a densely settled shoreline where historic villages like Quogue and East Quogue are linked by a network of local roads including Old Quogue Riverhead Rd and Meeting House Rd. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous small waterways such as Weesuck Creek, Phillips Creek, and Penniman Creek that drain into the bay.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint significant community landmarks, including the East Quogue Methodist Church Cemetery and the Quogue Post Office. Further inland, the presence of Francis S Gabreski Airport and the rising elevation at Flanders Hill contrast with the low-lying marshes and points of the bay, such as Pine Neck and Rampasture. The Ponquogue Bridge provides a vital link across the water to the Atlantic-facing dunes at Tiana Beach.
