About this map

Fire Island National Seashore dominates the central landscape of this coastal survey, capturing the protective barrier of Fire Island and its many distinctive landforms. The map illustrates a series of marshy islands and points scattered through the waters, including Ridge Island, Pelican Island, and the specifically named Whalehouse Point. These features separate the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean from the sheltered waters of Great South Bay and Bellport Bay.

On the northern shore of the mainland, the village of Bellport sits near the mouth of Howells Creek, while residential developments on the barrier beach are represented by Davis Park and Bayberry Dunes. The survey provides a clear view of the complex coastal geography where Great South Beach meets smaller inlets like Robinson Cove and Long Cove. This 2019 edition is a precise record of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure along this stretch of Suffolk County.
