2013 Map of Wading River

About this map

The northern coast of Suffolk County meets the Long Island Sound at Wading River, a community characterized by its transition from tidal waters to the interior pine barrens. This survey documents a landscape defined by significant institutional and agricultural footprints, most notably the expansive grounds of the Calverton National Cem and the Calverton Executive Airpark. The area preserves a strong agricultural heritage through operations like Seven Ponds Orchard, Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, and Will Miloski's Poultry Farm, illustrating the persistent role of local farming on the North Shore. To the south, a dense cluster of kettle ponds and lakes, including Lake Panamoka, Deep Pond, and Swan Pond, provides a clear view of the glacial geology that shaped this region's hydrology. The southern edge of the map follows the winding course of the Peconic River, marking the drainage divide of the island's eastern forks.
