About this map

The northern coast of Long Island meets the Long Island Sound along a complex shoreline of peninsulas and sheltered harbors. In this mid-century landscape, the village of Bayville occupies a narrow strip of land between Oak Neck Creek and the sound, connected to the mainland near Mill Neck. The area is defined by established estates and institutions, including the St Josephs Monastery and the Sagamore Hill Nat Historical Site on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Residential patterns are anchored by historic family names and educational landmarks, such as Friends Acad and the Mill Neck Manor Sch. Researchers can find numerous small burial grounds including Pratt Cem and Underhill Cem, which suggest the deep genealogical roots of Locust Valley and Matinecock. Across the water, the maritime boundary between New York and Connecticut is marked near Great Captain Island, while internal coastal features like Stehli Beach and Plum Pt highlight the region's recreational and nautical character.
