About this map

Babylon and its neighboring South Shore communities are depicted here along the edges of the Great South Bay. This dense suburban landscape is defined by its relationship to the water, with numerous necks and points such as Sampawams Neck and Santapogue Neck extending into the bay. The intricate network of residential streets in Lindenhurst and West Islip is interrupted by green spaces like Belmont Lake State Park and historic grounds including Breslau Cem and Saint Johns Catholic Cem.

Transit corridors shape the region's layout, with the Long Island railroad and Sunrise Hwy cutting through the northern settlements. To the south, the barrier beach environment comes into focus across the Oak Island Channel. Here, the Ocean Pkwy connects recreational and residential outposts like Cedar Beach and Oak Beach, guarding the entrance to the Fire Island Inlet and providing a stark contrast to the developed mainland.
