About this map

The Peconic River and its accompanying wetlands, including the Cedar Swamp, define the southern geography of this 2010 survey of Riverhead. The township serves as a central hub for the surrounding North Fork agricultural landscape, where family-run operations like Philip A Schmitt And Son Farms and Briermere Farms sit alongside modern viticulture at Roanoke Vineyards. Along the shoreline of the Long Island Sound, residential clusters such as Reeves Park are situated near coastal landmarks like Friars Head.

Evidence of the area's social and recreational history is abundant, from the Riverhead Raceway to the numerous burial grounds like Baiting Hollow Cemetery. The map captures a mix of traditional Long Island farming and the growth of communities like Foxwood Village and Parkview Community, illustrating the persistent balance between the region's rural roots and its role as a suburban and commercial center for Suffolk County.
