1947 Map of Southold

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Southold and the surrounding North Fork villages are captured here in the mid-1940s, revealing a landscape defined by its deep maritime and agricultural roots. The Long Island railroad cuts through the heart of the peninsula, serving established hubs like Cutchogue and Peconic, while the coastline is dotted with historical navigational aids and community landmarks. Of particular note is the Horton Pt Lighthouse standing watch over the Sound, and the commemorative Founders Ldg on the shores of Southold Bay. The map illustrates a period of residential expansion along the waterfront, with developments like Reydon Shores and Laughing Waters emerging near the established Golf Club. This survey provides a precise look at the intricate network of tidal inlets, such as Jockey Creek and Corey Creek, that have long dictated the layout of roads and settlements in this part of Suffolk County.
