One can see that at that time the Shipwright's house (56 Brigantine Circle) was reached by following Fox Hill Lane (remnants of which still run behind the house) rather than Barque Hill Drive.  What is now Barque Hill Drive forked to the left toward the Rose Cottage, and to the right to the Kendall house (41 Brigantine).   The absence of Route 3 is perhaps the most striking thing to note.  The highway now bisects Bald Hill in a northwesterly direction.
