About this map

The dense residential corridors of central Nassau County are defined here by a massive infrastructure of parkways and public institutions. Hofstra University and the Nassau County Veterans Memorial Coliseum anchor the northwestern quadrant, situated on land once known for the Roosevelt Raceway. This modern landscape is tightly gridded with mid-century suburban developments like Levittown and East Meadow, while the southern shoreline transitions into a complex network of tidal channels and islands.

Tracing the path of the Long Island RR, one can see how it links established communities like Baldwin, Merrick, and Bellmore. Local history is preserved in spaces such as Greenfield Cem and the Wantagh Cem, while the recreational character of the South Shore is evident at the Freeport Marina and several water features including Mullener Pond and Merrick Bay. The geography is bisected by the Meadowbrook Pkwy and Wantagh Pkwy, which funnel traffic toward the coastal wetlands and Jones Beach Pkwy.
