2013 Map of Riverhead

About this map

Peconic River frontage and the northern shores of Long Island Sound define this landscape on the eastern end of Long Island. The map shows a transition from established agricultural roots, represented by Briermere Farms and Edward Zilnicki Farms, to modern recreation and conservation areas like the Cherry Creek Golf Links and The Preserve. The central hub of Riverhead is flanked by residential developments such as Foxwood Village and Lakewood Park, while the historic Long Island Railroad corridor continues to influence the layout of settlements like Calverton. Genealogical interest is found in well-marked burial grounds including Riverhead Cem and Saint Johns Cem. Along the northern coast, the elevation shifts at Friars Head and Roanoke Point, providing a topographical contrast to the low-lying wetlands and ponds like Wildwood Lake and Sweezey Pond further south.
