About this map

The dense residential street grids of Long Beach and Atlantic Beach dominate the southern coastline of this barrier island landscape, separated from the mainland by a complex network of marshes and tidal passages. The map illustrates the heavy development along the Long Island railroad corridor, where established communities like Cedarhurst and Lawrence meet the water. Notable institutions including the Shor Yoshuv Institute and the Rabbinical College of Long Island are prominent landmarks within the suburban fabric.

Waterways define the interior geography, with Reynolds Channel and Bannister Bay winding around numerous named wetlands such as Big Hassock and North Meadow. These channels and creeks, like East Rockaway Channel, highlight the transition between the urbanized Far Rockaway section of New York and the neighboring villages of Nassau County. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Marys Cem and the connectivity provided by the Long Beach Road Bridge.
