About this map

The William Floyd Estate and the surrounding coastal reach of the Atlantic Ocean dominate this modern topographical record of Suffolk County. Along the shorelines of Narrow Bay and Moriches Inlet, the map details a complex network of coastal settlements from Mastic Beach to East Moriches. The interior landscape reveals a blend of legacy and recreation, featuring the New York National Speedway and the Long Island Game Farm alongside numerous burial grounds such as Brookfield Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem.

Transit corridors like the Long Island Rail Road and Sunrise Hwy provide the backbone for development in Manorville and Shirley. The hydrologic complexity of the area is evident in the many tidal arms, including Poospatuck Cr and Terrell River, which define the geography of the local points and necks. This map serves as an essential tool for understanding the contemporary layout of these longstanding Long Island communities.
