A Last Look At

MASTIC

circa 1920

 

THIS MAP PUBLISHED BY HAMMOND AROUND 1920 IS PROBABLY
THE LAST LOOK AT THIS AREA BEFORE HOME GUARDIAN CO
STARTED DEVELOPING IT.

THE SECONDARY ROADS WERE NOT PAVED, MAIN ROADS WERE NOT MUCH BETTER

 

Notice that :

Montauk Highway is still called South Country Road

The "Tangier / Quimby Influence" lingers on from it's ill fate a decade earlier

Mastic Beach (founded 1926) Does Not Exist
