1969 Map of Amityville

Along the coast, the intricate waterways of Great Neck, Amityville Creek, and Copiague Creek reveal the area's maritime character, with planned waterfront communities like Biltmore Shores and Nassau Shores leading down to the Great South Bay. Inland, the preservation of green space is anchored by Bethpage State Park and the linear corridor of the Massapequa Creek preserve, providing a contrast to the grid of schools such as Maria Regina Sch and Amityville Mem High Sch that serve these expanding communities.
