2019 Map of Moriches

About this map

Brookfield Presbyterian Church Cem and several smaller family burial sites like the Wines Private Graveyard anchor the long-settled rural areas north of the coastal developments. The southern shoreline is a complex network of inlets and peninsulas, where the Forge River and Terrell River meet the waters of Moriches Bay. This coastal landscape is dominated by the sprawling communities of Mastic, Shirley, and Center Moriches, which reflect the dense residential growth patterns typical of southern Long Island. Protected lands of the Fire Island National Seashore buffer the mainland from the Atlantic, featuring landmarks like Smiths Point and Great South Beach. Inland, the Manorville Hills and the transit corridors of the Long Island Railroad and Brookhaven Airport define the transition from suburban neighborhoods to the remaining woodland and agricultural spaces near Manorville.
