2023 Map of Bay Shore West

About this map

Wyandanch and Deer Park anchor the northern reaches of this coastal Suffolk County landscape, where the dense suburban grid of the early 21st century meets the complex shoreline of the Great South Bay. The map reveals a highly structured environment defined by major transit corridors, including the Southern State Pkwy and the Long Island Railroad. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a series of peninsulas or necks, such as Sequatogue Neck and Sampawams Neck, separated by tidal creeks like Carlls River and Santapogue Creek. Local history and genealogy are represented by sites like Breslau Cem and Babylon Cem. Beyond the mainland, the Great South Bay Bridge connects to the barrier beach system, featuring the sands of Jones Beach Island and the community at Oak Beach, illustrating the enduring relationship between these mainland settlements and the protected waters of the bay.
