2013 Map of Central Islip

About this map

Central Islip and its surrounding hamlets are defined by a dense network of suburban residential streets and major transit corridors in the early twenty-first century. The southern portion of the map is significantly marked by the Old Central Islip Psychiatric Center Patient Cem, a somber remainder of the area's massive institutional history. Transportation is central to the landscape, with the Long Island RR cutting east-west through Brentwood and Islandia, while high-capacity thoroughfares like the Long Island Expy and Motor Pkwy facilitate the region's commuter-driven economy. In the north, the headwaters of the Nissequogue River at New Millpond contrast with the heavy development. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including the Hauppauge Methodist Episcopal Cem and Saint Patricks Cem, which sit amidst contemporary infrastructure and newer settlements like Nesconset and East Hauppauge.
