1956 Map of Riverhead

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Peconic River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-century look at eastern Long Island, where the town of Riverhead sits at the junction of rail, road, and water. This period shows a landscape in transition, where established agricultural areas around Centerville and Baiting Hollow meet newer developments. The presence of the Peconic Cranberry Bog and the Riverhead Raceway illustrates the diverse land use of the era, from traditional wetland industries to modern recreation.
