2013 Map of Shinnecock Inlet

About this map

Shinnecock Bay dominates this coastal landscape, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the narrow strip of Southampton Beach. The 2013 survey shows the critical maritime passage at Shinnecock Inlet, where tidal currents connect the bay to the sea. Along the northern shoreline, the geography is defined by numerous necks and ponds, including Halsey Neck Pond and Coopers Neck Pond, illustrating the finger-like extensions of land into the water. Significant local landmarks such as the Shinnecock Indian Cem and the Southampton Heliport reflect the cultural and modern layers of the area. The western edge is bridged by the Ponquogue Bridge, providing access to the outer beach. This map captures the coastal environment of Southampton just after the turn of the millennium, documenting the residential road networks of Meadow Ln and Gin Ln alongside natural features like Agawam Lake.
