1944 Map of Bay Shore East

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Shoreline communities along the South Shore of Long Island are mapped here in the mid-1940s, showcasing the established residential grids of Bay Shore, Islip, and East Islip before the peak of suburban expansion. The Long Island Railroad serves as the primary transit spine, paralleling the Montauk Highway and Sunrise Highway. Significant waterfront landmarks include the expansive Heckscher State Park and the estates near Great River bordering the Connetquot River. Across the Great South Bay, the map provides detailed coverage of the barrier beach settlements on Great South Beach, including Ocean Beach, Fair Harbor, and Point O' Woods. These coastal outposts are anchored by safety installations like the Fire Island C G station, reflecting a landscape defined by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate network of inlets and ponds such as Clam Pond.
