This detailed plan drawn of a scale of 30 rods to the inch, shows an area from Blue Point to Swan Pond and River. Roads are named and outlines of homes, businesses and lots delineated. All of Austin Roe’s properties are identifies and marked as either being cleared or woodlands. Roes’ businesses are identified such as Roes Union Twine Mills, Roe’s Grist Mill, Roe’s Cotton Factory. Also noted is Roe’s Hotel and directly across Main Street, his bar and billiard room. In the upper right corner is a inset view of Roe’s Hotel, Austin Roe & Son. Proprs.” This hotel was a famous stopping place for stage coaches and was a half way station between Sag Harbor and Brooklyn. It was built in 1810 by Justus Roe. Austin was the son of the original proprietor. The eastern terminus of the South Shore Rail Road (now LIRR) is shown in the village with the proposed extension heading east from there. The railroad reached the village in April, 1869. It is highly likely that this map was produced at that time so the Austin Roe could take advantage of the new terminus.
