1903 Map of Babylon

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The coastal hamlets of Suffolk County and Nassau County at the turn of the century reveal a landscape defined by its intricate barrier beaches and the expansion of the Long Island R. R. network. The map details the transition from inland agricultural settlements like Farmingdale and Pinelawn toward the waterfront villages of Amityville, Babylon, and Bayshore. Along the jagged shoreline of South Oyster Bay and Great South Bay, numerous small islands such as Elder Island and Cedar Island punctuate the shallow waters behind the protective dunes of Jones Beach and Oak Island Beach.
