About this map

Southold and the surrounding maritime landscape of the North Fork reflect a deeply rooted coastal heritage where narrow necks of land reach into Little Peconic Bay and Shelter Island Sound. This modern survey reveals a dense network of local history, marked by historic burial sites such as the Old Burying Ground and numerous community graveyards like Arshamomaque Cem and Willow Hill Cem. The geography is defined by its intricate shoreline, where Goldsmith Inlet and Town Creek create natural harbors for centuries-old settlements.

Residential growth is evident in developments like Beixedon Estates and Reydon Shores, yet the map preserves the identity of established villages from Cutchogue to Greenport. Waterways remain central to the area's character, with the Intracostal Waterway navigating the Long Island Sound to the north. From the heights of Horton Point to the small harbor at New Suffolk, the map details a landscape where agriculture at Nassau Farms meets the seafaring traditions of Fisherman Beach.
