About this map

Riverhead sits at the head of navigation for the Peconic River, serving as a central hub for Suffolk County's legal and civic life. This modern survey details the town's role as a county seat, featuring the Suffolk County Courthouse and the Honorable Alan D Oshrin Supreme Court Building. The landscape transitions from the residential and commercial density of the town center to the open agricultural tracts near Aquebogue and the coastal settlements of Baiting Hollow and Reeves Park along the Long Island Sound.

Tracing the path of the Long Island railroad through the heart of the quadrangle reveals the historic transit corridor that linked these communities to the rest of the island. Natural features like Wildwood Lake, Swan Pond, and the maritime edge at Roanoke Point define the local geography, while genealogists can find numerous burial grounds including Baiting Hollow Cem and Saint John the Evangelist Parish Cem.
