2011 Map of Bay Shore West

About this map

Babylon and the neighboring shoreline communities of Lindenhurst and West Islip define this 2011 snapshot of the Long Island coast. The landscape is characterized by its intricate canal systems and numerous necks, including Santapogue Neck and Okenok Neck, which reach into the Great South Bay. Marine activity is centered around facilities like the Watts Degarmo Boat Yard and several coastal preserves. Inland, the map documents significant local landmarks such as Belmont Lake and several major burial grounds, including Saint John's Catholic Cemetery and Breslau Cemetery. The transportation network is dominated by the Southern State Pkwy and the Robert Moses State Pkwy, the latter of which provides a vital link across the water toward Oak Beach and the shifting sands of Democrat Point at the Fire Island Inlet.
