2023 Map of Saint James

About this map

Stony Brook University anchors the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the tidal waters of Stony Brook Harbor and the Nissequogue River carve deep into the North Shore of Long Island. The map reveals a sophisticated network of residential development and academic growth surrounding established settlements like Smithtown, Kings Park, and St. James. Geologically, the area is defined by its dramatic shoreline features, from the sweeping arc of Smithtown Bay to the narrow spit of Long Beach and the prominent headland at Crane Neck Point. Genealogical interest is found in the numerous historic burial grounds, including the Saint James Episcopal Cem and the Mills Cem near Mills Pond, which reflect the long-standing community foundations in this part of Suffolk County.
