2016 Map of Pattersquash Island

About this map

Fire Island National Seashore dominates the coastal geography of this Long Island survey, illustrating the narrow barrier island system that protects the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement of Mastic Beach and the community of Shirley are positioned along the northern shore of Narrow Bay, connected to the outer beach via the Narrow Bay Bridge. This map highlights the transition between suburban residential development on Johns Neck and the protected, natural landscape of Fire Island and Pattersquash Island. The road network, including Trafalgar Dr and Riviera Rd, shows the dense residential patterning characteristic of the southern Suffolk County shoreline during the early 21st century. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary of the United States of America as it extends into the Atlantic.
