2010 Map of Lynbrook

About this map

Belmont Park and the sprawling campus of Adelphi University anchor this dense suburban corridor along the border of Queens and Nassau County. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of established community institutions, including an extensive cemetery belt featuring Beth David Cemetery, Montefiore Cemetery, and Maimonides-Elmont Cemetery. In the south, the terrain transitions into the complex wetlands and tidal channels of Hewlett Bay and Head of Bay, where Thurston Basin and Macy Channel define the coastal edge. Residential growth is reflected in the numerous local postal hubs like the Franklin Square Post Office and Lynbrook Post Office. Amidst this late-twentieth-century development, traditional land uses like Grossmann's Farm and Dee's Nursery remain visible, providing evidence of the area's agricultural past before it was fully integrated into the metropolitan expanse. Major transit arteries such as the Southern State Pkwy and Cross Island Pkwy weave these diverse neighborhoods together.
