2016 Map of Shinnecock Inlet

About this map

Southampton and the coastal reach of Hampton Bays anchor this 2016 survey of the South Shore, where the barrier beach landscape meets the Atlantic. The map documents the dynamic geography of Shinnecock Inlet, the critical waterway connecting Shinnecock Bay to the open ocean. Along the mainland shore, the rolling terrain of Shinnecock Hills transitions into the residential and estate corridors of Southampton, defined by a network of long avenues and lanes such as Halsey Neck Ln and Coopers Neck Ln. Inland water bodies like Agawan Lake, Coopers Neck Pond, and Halsey Neck Pond are prominent features near the village center. To the west, the settlements of Ponquogue and Tiana Beach sit near the tidal marshes and small landforms including Cormorant Point and the Warner Islands. This modern record captures the exact shoreline and road network as they existed in the mid-2010s, providing a contemporary benchmark for the changing coastline.
