1969 Map of Bay Shore West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Great South Bay dominates this late-sixties perspective of the Suffolk County coastline, where the urban expansion of Babylon and Bay Shore meets the barrier islands of the Atlantic coast. The map illustrates a densely settled residential landscape punctuated by significant public works, including the Southern State Parkway and the sweeping Robert Moses Causeway connecting the mainland to Captree Island and Oak Beach. Cultural and religious landmarks are well-represented, from parochial institutions like Our Lady of Lourdes Sch to the grounds of Breslau Cem. Along the shore, numerous inlets such as Santapogue Creek and Sampawams Creek delineate the various necks of land, while the Long Island RR serves as the primary transit spine for the inland communities of Lindenhurst and Wyandanch. The presence of Belmont Lake State Park and Guggenheim Lakes highlights the intentional preservation of green space and freshwater features amidst the growing suburban grid.
