1956 Map of Bellport

About this map

Carmans River flows south toward Bellport Bay, anchoring a mid-century landscape of South Shore hamlets and scientific expansion. The northern reaches are dominated by the U S Reservation Brookhaven National Laboratory, while the rail corridor of the Long Island Railroad connects established centers like Yaphank and Medford Station. Local infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Brookhaven Memorial Hospital to the Suffolk Home.
