1903 Map of Babylon

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

Long Island R. R. corridors define the development of southern Suffolk County at the dawn of the twentieth century, connecting established coastal villages like Babylon and Bayshore to inland points. The survey details the intricate shoreline of South Oyster Bay and the Great South Bay, where numerous creeks such as Santapogue River and Carll's River empty into the marshes. A string of life-saving stations, including Zachs Inlet L.S.S. and Gilgo L.S.S., stand watch along the outer barrier beach at Jones Beach and Oak Island Beach. Inland, the landscape transition is marked by the presence of St. Dominic Convent and the sprawling grounds near Pinelawn, illustrating the early suburbanization and institutional land use that followed the expansion of the Montauk Division.
