1967 Map of Wading River
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Wading River and the northern shore of Suffolk County are defined here by a mix of mid-century scientific industry and recreational coastline. The sprawling U S Reservation of the Brookhaven National Laboratory dominates the western portion, while the Grumman Peconic River Airport and its associated industrial facilities occupy the central woods. This era captures the region before heavy suburbanization, showing a landscape still rich with named water bodies such as Lake Panamoka and Deep Pond. Along the Long Island Sound, Wildwood State Park and various camps like Camp Wauwepex and Camp Baiting Hollow illustrate the area's long-standing role as a summer destination. Inland, the presence of Cranberry Bogs near the Peconic River and a Scuttle Hole near Manorville point to the local agricultural and geological heritage of the island.
