About this map

Great Cove and the waters of Nicoll Bay define the maritime character of this Long Island coastal area. On the mainland, established residential communities such as Islip Terrace, East Islip, and Oakdale are bounded by the Connetquot River to the east and the transit corridors of Sunrise Hwy and Montauk Hwy. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Oakwood Cem and Saint Patricks Cem, while the waterfront is marked by the Bay Shore Marina and Fire Island Ferry Terminal.

South across the Great Cove, the barrier beach of Fire Island hosts a string of distinct summer colonies accessible by established ferry routes. From the western edge at Kismet and Saltaire through Ocean Beach to Point o'Woods, the map details a unique island geography shaped by Clam Pond and the surrounding Fire Islands. This network of seasonal settlements, separated by the West Channel and Range Channel, illustrates the specialized development of the New York shoreline.
