About this map

Lake Ronkonkoma sits at the heart of this central Suffolk County landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the surrounding communities of Stony Brook, Lake Grove, and Ronkonkoma. The map reveals a densely developed suburban pattern shaped by major transit corridors, including the Long Island Expressway and the Long Island Rail Road. This era shows the significant footprint of Long Island Mac Arthur Airport and the Suffolk County Community College campus, reflecting the region's mid-century role as a residential and educational hub.

Along the southern shore, the village of Patchogue maintains its connection to the water through the Patchogue River and Great Patchogue Lake, bordering the northern edge of the Fire Island National Seashore. Numerous historical burial sites are preserved amidst the modern street grid, from the large Holy Sepulchre Cem to the New Village Congregation Churchyard and Cem, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in one of New York's most established coastal counties.
