HOW MASTIC BEACH

LOOKED FROM THE AIR IN
1941

 

Unlike maps, aerial photos, even from a great distance can give you a very real sense

of exactly what was there and what wasn't.

THE ACTUAL PHOTO WHICH THE GOVERMENT HAS TITLED PATTERSQUASH IS HUGE AND RUNS FROM CARMANS RIVER TO FORGE RIVER .

IT WOULD SLOW DOWN ANY COMPUTER
