About this map

Long Island Sound borders this northern reach of Suffolk County, where a series of landings and beaches like Woodhull Landing and Scotts Beach define the coastline. Moving inland from the shore, the suburban expansion of Miller Place, Rocky Point, and Shoreham is evident, characterized by dense residential street grids that give way to the more open landscapes of the central island. This transition is marked by landmarks such as the Tall Tree Golf Course and the expansive Washington Memorial Park.

The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals the headwaters of significant Long Island waterways, including the Carmans River and Peconic River. Small kettle ponds and lakes, notably Artist Lake and Twin Ponds, are scattered throughout the glacial terrain. Genealogy and local history are anchored by the Methodist Cemetery and Union Cemetery near Gordon Heights, while the eastern edge features the specialized infrastructure around Upton, reflecting the area's diverse land use from residential hamlets to research facilities.
