Babylon and the neighboring shoreline communities of West Islip and West Babylon anchor this South Shore landscape during a period of high suburban density. The map illustrates the complex interaction between land and water, from the residential grids of North Bay Shore to the intricate network of canals and inlets at Venetian Shores Beach. The interior is defined by significant green spaces and freshwater bodies, including Belmont Lake State Park and Guggenheims Lakes, while the southern portion transitions into the barrier islands across the Great South Bay.
