1956 Map of Sag Harbor

About this map

The hamlets and harbors of eastern Long Island are documented here during the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by its coastal ponds and the agricultural heritage of the South Fork. Bridgehampton serves as a central hub, where the Long Island Railroad passes through a network of potato fields and estates. To the north, the historic port of Sag Harbor is captured with its dense street grid and waterfront developments along Sag Harbor Cove, while the western edge features the protected shoreline of the Morton National Wildlife Refuge at Jessup Neck. The southern coast reveals a string of expansive water bodies, including Mecox Bay and Sagaponack Pond, separated from the Atlantic by thin barrier beaches. This survey provides exceptional detail for genealogists, mapping family-named roads like Daniels Lane and Hedges Lane alongside established institutions such as St Andrews Cem and the Experimental Laboratory near Mill Pond.
