About this map

The dense residential corridors and complex waterways of southern Long Island define this 2010 survey. Spanning the Nassau and Suffolk county line, the landscape is a grid of suburban development punctuated by significant institutional land use, most notably the vast cemetery complex near East Farmingdale that includes Saint Charles Cemetery, Wellwood Cemetery, and Pinelawn Cemetery. The aviation legacy of the region is prominent, anchored by the Grumman-Bethpage Airfield and Republic Airport, which sit amidst established communities like Bethpage, Levittown, and Hicksville.

Toward the coast, the geometry of the street grid gives way to the intricate wetlands of South Oyster Bay and Great South Bay. Local geography is shaped by numerous south-flowing tributaries such as Massapequa Creek and Carman Creek, which lead to coastal features like Fort Neck and Unqua Point. The shoreline is characterized by man-made lagoons and private docks in Biltmore Shores, Nassau Shores, and Amity Harbor, reflecting a late-20th-century orientation toward maritime recreation and waterfront living.
