The village of Mamaroneck is very pleasantly situated at the head of a fine bay near its confluence with the Mamaroneck river. The channel of the former admits at high water, vessels carrying one hundred tons, to the landing. Indian creek, the north-west channel of the bay, leads to the old ship yard which formerly stood near the western entrance of the village ; the site was presented to the town by the Johnston family. Vast quantities of flounders are frequently taken by means of fykes, in this channel. Black Fish, Sheeps-head, and Striped Bass, abound in the waters of the bay. The Mamaroneck river, above mentioned, forms the eastern boundary of the town, and derives its source from Horton's pond. This stream is more remarkable for the romantic valleys it forms, and the rich country it winds through, than for its extent -- being generally buried within deep banks. Near its junction with the Sheldrake, (directly north of the village,) it forms a beautiful valley between high rolling hills, upon the sides of which, are boulders of enormous size.
