1956 Map of Southampton

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The town of Southampton sits between the expansive waters of Shinnecock Bay and the intricate coastline of Little Peconic Bay. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape deeply defined by its maritime geography and early recreational prestige, featuring world-class courses like the National Golf Links Of America and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Course. The Shinnecock Indian Reservation occupies a prominent peninsula on the southern shore, while the Long Island Railroad cuts through the low hills to serve the village center. Cultural and communal landmarks are well-represented, from the historic Old Southampton Cemetery and Art Village to local gathering points like the Old Cove Yacht Club in New Suffolk. The interior is dotted with numerous ponds and creeks, such as Big Fresh Pond and Sebonac Creek, illustrating the complex network of fresh and salt water that has shaped settlement patterns and land use in this part of Suffolk County.
