1967 Map of Moriches

About this map

The Fire Island National Seashore and Moriches Inlet anchor the southern reaches of this Long Island survey, where the barrier beach protects the waters of Moriches Bay. To the north, the sprawling campus of the Brookhaven National Laboratory occupies a significant portion of the landscape, complete with its own rail link at Upton Station. The area reflects a period of mid-century development, from the residential grids of Shirley and Mastic Beach to the industrial presence of numerous sandpits and the recreational draw of the New York National Speedway.
