About this map

Hofstra University and Nassau Community College anchor the educational landscape of central Nassau County in this 2019 study, situated amidst the dense suburban grid between Garden City and East Meadow. The transition from the tightly packed residential blocks of Uniondale and Roosevelt to the tidal wetlands of East Bay is clearly defined, showing the complex interaction of modern infrastructure with the natural shoreline.

Transport corridors like Hempstead Tpke and Merrick Rd cut through a series of long-established communities, while the Long Island railroad tracks bisect the region. Genealogists can find several burial grounds including Greenfield Cem and the Jerusalem Friends Cem. To the south, the map details the intricate network of waterways such as Freeport Creek and Milburn Creek that separate Baldwin Harbor and Freeport from the marshy landforms of Fighting Island and Big Grow Island.
