2016 Map of Bellport

About this map

Bellport and Yaphank serve as historical anchors for this southern Long Island landscape, where the Long Island railroad and major arterials like the Long Island Expressway Rd cross a terrain defined by numerous creeks and ponds. The sheet is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous small burial grounds and family plots, including the Barteau Private Graveyard and the Samuel Carman and Nathaniel Miller Cem. Natural water features such as the Carmans River and Yaphank Creek flow toward Bellport Bay, providing a clear view of the historical drainage patterns that dictated early settlement. From the established neighborhoods of East Patchogue and North Bellport to the protected corridors of the White Oak Nature Trail, the map details a transition from dense residential development to the tidal reaches of Fireplace Neck and Sandy Point.
