1904 Map of Riverhead

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

The Peconic River carves a path through the heart of Suffolk County at the turn of the century, dividing the agricultural lands of Riverhead from the coastal expanses of Southampton. This era shows a landscape defined by its dual maritime and rail economies. Along the southern shoreline, the Life Saving Service maintains a critical presence with stations like Tiana L.S.S. and Quogue L.S.S. guarding the dangerous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the Long Island Railroad serves as the primary artery for travel and commerce, connecting established settlements like Aquebogue and Franklinville. The map captures the complex geography of the barrier beaches and inner bays, including Shinnecock Bay and Quantuck Bay, providing a precise look at the early development of West Hampton Beach and Quogue before the suburban growth of the mid-20th century.
