Maps of Long Island Mastic Area


1 - Exact detail of the Mastic-Moriches-Brookhaven area. Location 2 is where the Manor House is. Slightly north of the Manor House is where the Weasel den is.


2 - Old map detail of the area, not to scale.


3 - 1815 map, not to scale, detailing Mastic area. The Floyds were a powerful family that also lived in the area, east of the Smith family who owned the Manor of St. George. 


4 - 1916 map of Mastic area. Not to scale. Fire Island lies to the south. Note St. George Manor and its location. Also, to the upper right of the image you see what looks like "Old Reservation": this is the area where the Unkechaug Natives were, and who the Weasels will come into contact with.


5 - 1922 Map of Mastic area. Not to scale.


6 - Modern day map of what's left of the Long Island Pine Barrens, the largest extent of natural land still on the Island. When our story takes place, this entire eastern area would have been wooded save for the cleared land for farms, crops, and cattle grazing.
