About this map

Babylon and the surrounding South Shore communities are captured here just before the massive post-war suburban expansion. This 1941 aerial photography base reveals a landscape defined by its coastal orientation, where the Long Island Railroad and the Sunrise Highway provided the primary arteries for local growth. The map shows the dense grid of Bay Shore and the established recreational character of the waterfront, highlighted by the Babylon Yacht Club and the Southward Ho Country Club.
