1984 Map of Long Island East

About this map

The Brookhaven National Laboratory and the sprawling Calverton National Cemetery anchor this 1984 study of eastern Long Island, where the island's distinctive "forks" begin to diverge. The landscape is a mix of dense residential growth and protected lands, including the Fire Island National Seashore and several wildlife refuges like Amagansett National Wildlife Refuge. Transportation corridors such as the Long Island Expressway and the Long Island Rail Road illustrate the region's mid-century suburbanization, while coastal landmarks like Hampton Bays and Art Village reveal the established seasonal and year-round communities of the South Shore.
