About this map

Riverhead stands as the commercial and civic heart of eastern Long Island in this mid-century survey, situated where the Peconic River meets the bay. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and emerging suburban infrastructure, with grid-like farm parcels bordering settlements like Aquebogue and Northville. Key local landmarks of the era are clearly visible, including the Riverhead Raceway, the Villa Immaculate along the coast, and the Long Island Railroad corridor which facilitated the region's transport.
