About this map

Kings Park State Hospital and the sprawling campus of the State University at Stony Brook anchor this detailed look at Suffolk County's north shore during a period of significant institutional and suburban growth. The landscape is defined by the winding Nissequogue River and the complex tidal estuaries of Stony Brook Harbor, which separate the established villages of Stony Brook and Saint James.

Institutional heritage is deeply etched across the terrain, from the St Johnland Childrens Home near Sunken Meadow State Park to various parochial sites like Maryvilla Convent. Local commuters and regional travelers are served by the Long Island Railroad, which cuts through the southern residential blocks. Notable leisure and community landmarks, including the Old Field Club and Mills Pond, provide a clear picture of the mid-century social fabric in the historic settlements of Old Field and Nissequogue.
