1947 Map of Quogue

About this map

Quogue and East Quogue anchor this mid-century coastal survey, showing a landscape defined by the complex inlets and bays of the South Shore. The Montauk Division railroad cuts through the center, serving the Quogue Sta and connecting smaller clusters like Oakville and West Tiana to the broader Long Island network. The map captures the interface between land and sea, where local landmarks like Belts Windmill sit near the necks and points that reach into Shinnecock Bay. From the barrier beaches of Tiana Beach and Hampton Beach to the tidal marshes of Sedge Island, the geography reflects a coastal economy and community in transition. Numerous hydrographic markers and triangulation points, such as USC&GS Quogue C G, detail the meticulous surveying required to navigate and manage this shifting maritime environment.
