About this map

Saint Marys Cem and the residential neighborhoods of Lawrence and Cedarhurst anchor the northwestern portion of this coastal landscape, where the dense suburban grid meets a complex network of marshland and tidal channels. The geography is defined by a labyrinth of water bodies, including Brosewere Bay and Reynolds Channel, which separate the mainland from barrier island communities like Atlantic Beach and Long Beach.

Transport connectivity is a central theme, with the Atlantic Beach Bridge and Long Beach Road Bridge providing essential links across the wetlands. This survey illustrates the high-density development typical of the early 21st-century South Shore, where distinct incorporated areas like Woodsburgh and Hewlett Neck maintain their identities amidst the expansive coastal sprawl. Notable landmarks such as the Roy Reuther Houses and various maritime points like Duck Point reflect the intersection of public housing history and natural topography.
