About this map

Rocky Point State Park dominates the central landscape of this Long Island survey, preserving a large swath of open space amidst the residential expansion of northern Suffolk County. Along the northern shoreline, the geography is defined by coastal features like Two Pigs, Old Sow, and Sill Rock sitting in the Long Island Sound. These maritime landmarks provide a stark contrast to the dense network of local roads and suburban developments found in Miller Place, Sound Beach, and Shoreham.

Genealogical and local history interest is concentrated in sites like the Noah Hallock Private Graveyard and the Methodist Cem near Gordon Heights. To the south, the terrain transitions into the freshwater environments of Artist Lake and the headwaters of the Peconic River. The map illustrates the 21st-century character of these communities, where sprawling residential grids meet preserved state lands and historic memorial sites like Washington Memorial Park.
