About this map

The Central Islip State Hospital complex dominates the landscape south of the Long Island RR, showcasing the massive institutional footprint that defined this portion of Suffolk County in the mid-20th century. Suburban expansion is evident through the dense grid of residential developments in Brentwood and Hauppauge, yet large green spaces like the Bayard Cutting Arboretum and the New Millpond County Park preserve the area's natural hydrology near the Connetquot River.

Transportation infrastructure reflects a region in transition, where the historic Long Island Motor Parkway meets the modern Long Island Expressway. Cultural landmarks of the era are well-documented, from the Ross Sanatorium and Academy of St Joseph to the Drive-in Theater near Lake Ronkonkoma. Numerous local schools, such as Accompsett Sch and Mulligan Jr High Sch, and cemeteries like St Patricks Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
