2019 Map of Bellport

About this map

The southern coast of Long Island meets Bellport Bay in this detailed survey of the Brookhaven area. Coastal topography is defined by the Carmans River corridor and the expansive Wertheim NWR, which preserves the wetlands of Fireplace Neck and Straddle Point. Inland, the landscape reflects the dense settlement patterns of North Bellport, East Patchogue, and Yaphank. Numerous small burial grounds are documented, including the Old Yaphank Cem, Almshouse Cem, and several private family plots like the Elijah Davis Private Cem. This transition from established town centers to protected marshes provides a clear view of how development has integrated with the natural drainage systems of Yaphank Creek and Swan River. Notable transport routes, including the Long Island railroad and Sunrise Hwy, bisect the region, connecting the residential hubs of Gordon Heights and Shirley.
