1947 Map of Shinnecock Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The village of Southampton and the Shinnecock Indian Reservation sit at the center of this coastal study, showing the South Shore of Long Island during the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by the thin barrier of Hampton Beach, which separates the Atlantic from the tidal waters of Shinnecock Bay. This era predates heavy modern development, showing the proximity of the Shinnecock Coast Guard Sta to the volatile Shinnecock Inlet. Inland, freshwater and brackish features like Agawam Lake and Cooper Neck Pond neighbor established local landmarks, including St Andrews Ch. The map illustrates a maritime-dependent community where small marshes and creeks, such as Heady Creek and Taylor Creek, dominate the interface between the village and the bay, providing a clear record of the coastline before major 20th-century shifts.
