2013 Map of Orient

About this map

East Marion and Orient occupy the narrow, terminal reach of Long Island's North Fork, where the land fragments into a series of points and protected bays. This coastal geography is defined by maritime features like Narrow River and Long Beach Bay, which separate the mainland from the slender finger of Orient Beach. The map documents a deeply rooted community landscape, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including E Marion Cem, Terry Hill Cem, and the Orient Congregational Cem. Local landmarks such as Rose Field Airport and the residential clusters near Orient Point illustrate the modern layout of this historic maritime corridor. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Browns Hills to the low-lying shoreline of Truman Beach, showcasing the varied topography of the peninsula's tip before it meets the Atlantic Ocean.
