1904 Map of Riverhead

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Riverhead serves as the focal point of this Eastern Long Island landscape, situated where the Peconic River meets Flanders Bay. The 1903 survey illustrates a region defined by its complex shoreline, stretching from Long Island Sound in the north to the Atlantic barrier beaches in the south. The Long Island Railroad cuts across the terrain, with its Montauk Division providing essential connectivity for settlements like Good Ground and Quogue Sta. during a period of agricultural and maritime transition. Life along the southern coast is marked by life-saving stations, such as Potunk L.S.S. and Tiana L.S.S., reflecting the era's reliance on coastal vigilance. The map preserves old place names and early road patterns through Six Roads and Canoe Place, offering a clear view of the South Fork before modern suburbanization altered the traditional rural and maritime character of Southampton and Riverhead townships.
